Famous Quote: “As much as I didn’t want to change, lifestyles do change. I think it is obvious that people repeat acts that are shown on the television or the screen and I wouldn’t want to inspire any violence on anyone. There are times when directors just don’t know what they’re doing. Leadership requires the courage to make decisions that will benefit the next generation.”
