I look at my career and it's still hard for me to believe the way things turned out and how things happened. I've been so blessed.
I remember running up to my dad and saying, 'I want to be an actor when I grow up!' And him saying, 'Yeah, well we'll talk about it.'
I started reading the big histories and the small histories, the memoirs and so forth. At some point, I found the diary of William E. Dodd.
