I'm the most inappropriate dad. I curse in front of my kids and their friends. I let my kids watch R-rated movies. I'll walk by the movie theater and say 'Let's go see that ' and my kids will say 'No it's rated R. It's not appropriate for kids.' I'm like Uncle Dad. We have fun. I don't live with them but I drive over four days a week.

Going to the theater is such a joyous experience. My dad would take my sister and me to plays when we were very young like six or seven years old.

Even within the last three or four years I have a greater ability to communicate I think. I have more courage to show the stuff... And it does take courage.

These rules may seem simple enough but it will require great morale and physical courage to adhere to them. But if carried out in the strict sense of the word it will surely lead to a greater success than could otherwise be attained.

There are always a few who stand up in times of communal madness and have the courage to say that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

To me there is no greater act of courage than being the one who kisses first.

We want deeper sincerity of motive a greater courage in speech and earnestness in action.

There are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion courage and hope. Not even tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart.

It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom to move on in one's inward journey into new realms than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr as it is to be rash in battle.

The trials on the road to world harmony are no greater than the courage of those who accept the challenge.

Thirty years ago we were in a movie theater and thought it was so cool because we were finally delivered from the horrors of stained glass and wooden pews.

I definitely wasn't cool in high school. I really wasn't. I did belong to many of the clubs and was in leadership on yearbook and did the musical theater route so I had friends in all areas. But I certainly did not know what to wear did not know how to do my hair all those things.

I like doing theaters. I like being up close and personal with the fans. It's really cool.

When I decided to launch my first knitwear line it was because I saw a void in the basics category. The editors were always looking for cool fashion-forward tees and sweaters. So that's where I started.

I just hope that theaters remain. I think there's something very wonderful about getting into a dark room with a bunch of people. There's something cool about that. Brings us all together in one room where we can experience all those emotions.

Theaters are always going to be around and doing fine. With computers and technology we're becoming more and more secluded from each other. And the movie theater is one of the last places where we can still gather and experience something together. I don't think the desire for that magic will ever go away.

In 1984 I turned to theater in the hopes of finding a more direct form of communication between me and my people.

Communication is very important. And the arts do that whether it's film or theater.

I believe that no matter what you do in life if you learn the basics through theater it will help you in everything else - problem solving communication discipline all of that stuff.

I'm interested in the theater because I'm interested in communication with audiences. Otherwise I would be in concert music.

Sometimes there is a greater lack of communication in facile talking than in silence.

There is danger in reckless change but greater danger in blind conservatism.

Kids are a huge sacrifice they change everything - but I'm ready to work for things of greater importance than going out to meet someone for dinner at 10 o'clock at night.

Successful people recognize crisis as a time for change - from lesser to greater smaller to bigger.
