Wolfman Jack Smith

Alan Shepard

You want to try and bring a character to life in an honest a way as you possibly can. It doesn't matter whether he's a doctor, an actor, a car salesman or a captain of a starship. If you can bring truth and honesty to that character, then your audience will believe you.

Is life worth living? It all depends on the liver.

William James

A certain portion of the human race has certainly a taste for being diddled.
