And this frightened and enraged me, and so I sped things up to try to get a little more before I spun right off the globe. And I think I was right. I think you fight time; I think you fight stupidity; I think you fight the easy, mediocre, silly way things are normally done. I think it is utterly insane to wait to see what might happen for you. I think our job is to make it happen. And I did." --Bette Davis/Interview with James Grissom/1984</blockquote>
