Quotes

CCH: With acting, I started very young, and I'd performed for a lot of children in boarding schools, late at night after the dormitory lights were out. I'd have a flashlight, and I'd be Count Dracula, or Shakespeare, or Yogi Bear, and leap from bunk to bunk. I loved the laughter; I liked the way it made people feel. (edit)
CCH: Applause is the most powerful thing... people talk about the sound of it, but what I hear is glee. (edit)
