I play beside one of the unsung heroes in David Vaughan. It's a privilege to play with him: he is breathtaking at times.

Victory in defeat, there is none higher. She didn't give up, Ben; she's still trying to lift that stone after it has crushed her. She's a father working while cancer eats away his insides, to bring home one more pay check. She's a twelve-year-old trying to mother her brothers and sisters because mama had to go to Heaven. She's a switchboard operator sticking to her post while smoke chokes her and fire cuts off her escape. She's all the unsung heroes who couldn't make it but never quit.

Real courage is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. Doing the unpopular thing because it's what you believe, and the heck with everybody.

Casting directors tend to be the unsung heroes in this business.

When a new manager comes in, you need to show him what you can do, but that may mean waiting for your opportunity.

It's a privilege. You play to be No. 1.
