One Seattle actor who was auditioning for a Broadway-bound musical knew how good a singer he was and, after auditioning for the book writer and director, said to the book writer after finishing his song, "Well, Bill (the director, not his real name) has never auditioned me before....but he'll definitely remember to audition me from now on!"
The director was not amused. Amazingly, the actor was cast, but somehow got lost on the way to Broadway, where the show was a big hit.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
