Interview with Julie Harris

You don't wait to be kind. The world needs your kindness right now, all the time. There will be a place for your kindness: Provide it. You also don't wait to be a writer or an actor: You study and you prepare and you respect the ground on which you might not yet walk. You are whatever you need to be before anyone else makes the judgment that you're ready for public display. Craft yourself into a kind and giving and curious person. That is something the world needs, and there will be no unemployment and a lifetime of riches.
