“People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.”

“People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision. Many people who approach the area of vision in leadership have it backwards. They believe that if the cause is good enough, people will automatically buy in and follow. But that's not how leadership works. People don't follow worthy causes; they follow worthy leaders with a cause they can believe in. They buy into the leader first.”

“PEOPLE CALL IT AS MY MISTAKE AND I CALL IT AS THEIR EXCUSE; PEOPLE CALL IT AS MY EGO AND I CALL IT AS THEIR PERSONAL; PEOPLE CALL IT AS MY CHARACTER AND I CALL IT AS THEIR ATTITUDE; PEOPLE CALL IT AS MY MISUNDERSTANDING AND I CALL IT AS THEIR PROBLEM; PEOPLE CALL IT AS MY PRIDE AND I CALL IT AS THEIR FAILURE; PEOPLE CALL IT AS MY REALITY AND I CALL IT AS THEIR IMAGINATION; PEOPLE CALL IT AS MY PAST AND I CALL IT AS THEIR PAST”

“People call me a theater actor, but I'm just an actor. But I tell my friends all the time - especially a lot that do theater and haven't done a lot of TV/film - that you have so much more control over your work onstage. When you go onstage, you can really see the difference between people who can really do it, and people who are just kind of pretending to do it. There is no editor, there's nothing that's going to stop the actor from showing what they can do unless it's not a well-written role.”

“People call me an optimist, but I'm really an appreciator ... years ago, I was cured of a badly infected finger with antibiotics when once my doctor could have recommended only a hot water soak or, eventually, surgery.... When I was six years old and had scarlet fever, the first of the miracle drugs, sulfanilamide, saved my life. I'm grateful for computers and photocopiers ... I appreciate where we've come from.”

“People call me for interviews on censorship type topics all the time, like that Gannette interview.I don't hold myself out to be an authority on it, but the reason they call me is that they know that I'll at least open my mouth, and give an opinion, whereas other people will play it safe, and won't say anything, because they don't want to offend anybody.”
