Hearing those truths spoken by someone else—-and in such an articulate, concise, thoughtful, brilliantly funny way had an enormous effect on me-—as it did for others lucky enough to be there as well. The sense of empowerment that emerged in that room was palpable. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it—-it was THAT inspiring. Not to mention validating, and transformative. I've been raving about it to every actor I meet.” —Richard Tanner, Los Angeles
