Beginnings Are Always Hard.

Miracles Are Happening Every Day. I Do Think That's True. If You Can Take The Time To Look. It Took Me A While To Learn That, Though Some Children Know It Instinctively And They Do Have Wonder When They Are Kids. But The Trouble Is, As We Grow Older, We Lose It.

Once In A While I Experience An Emotion Onstage That Is So Gut-wrenching, So Heart-stopping, That I Could Weep With Gratitude And Joy. The Feeling Catches And Magnifies So Rapidly That It Threatens To Engulf Me.

I Certainly Wouldn't Compare The Rewards Of Watching One's Children Grow And Mature With That Of Money Piling Up At The Box Office. Both Are Pleasant, But To Varying Degrees. As The Old Saying Goes, You Can't Take An Audience Home With You. You Can't Depend On The Loyalty Of Fans, Who, After All Is Said And Done, Are Just Faceless People One Seldom Sees. And Few Stars Have Their Fans Forever. But A Child Is Forever. That Bond And Relationship Is Timeless And Doesn't Depend On Your Looks, Age Or Popularity At The Moment.

Don't You Get A Swollen Head. There's Always Someone Who Could Come And Do What You Do, Maybe Even Better, So Be Grateful And Work Hard.

I Do Think, Where Would Kids Be If It Weren't For You And For The Good Pediatricians, And For The Good Parents? I Passionately Believe In Sitting A Child On Your Lap And Tracing The Lines Of The Book With Your Finger, And They Can Read Before They Know They Can, If You Bother Enough. I Did It With My Kids, And They're Doing It With Their Kids Now.
