ADD QUOTES
- John: (about acting) I wanted to be a musician, but that required homework. I don't see this as work. It's weird. Thank God for some of the representation in the business, as hard as it is for me to understand or accept, 'cause I'd be doing it for free.

- John Savage: I love plays like Of Mice and Men. Modern classics. They tell you so much about America, how things were. The time it's about wasn't all that long ago, but we often forget times, and things, we should remember.
