The personal contact is a personal thing. The fact that some people don't know their neighbors, I don't think that technology is at fault. You don't lose anything with technology. You gain other avenues of understanding.

I'm a pretty happy camper. Look a little more like Paul Newman, maybe. Haha.

Without television and mass communication, that knowledge wouldn't exist. So I think it actually has the possibility of turning people into more understanding and more empathetic people.

I would never speculate on the limit. Every time you speculate, you're way too conservative.

When you're caught up in your career, you're not thinking about becoming a legend one day or how, 25 years from now, you'll be immortalized in something or that you might be going into the Hall of Fame.

I'm really proud of what we are building at the University of Houston, and hope I spend the rest of my career here.

I hope to have a career like Jodie Foster, going from child to adult actress.

When you see the audiences and the smiling faces at the shows it really makes up for the work that you put in. I have a job I really love so whatever hecticness comes up - I'll just deal with it.
