I sort of missed one big thing, to touch first base. I hope I didn't act foolish, but this is history. Mark McGwire
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.orson welles
