I decided at age 9, but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher

I decided at age 9, but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher told me I had talent. I cant say she really motivated me because I already knew. I knew I had talent. I went to the Jewish community theater and got in plays there. Then I went for the movies. – Richard Dreyfuss

We need to get back to reasoning and thinking things through. The future generation is being brought up in greed and without a true understanding of civics. There is no more emphasis on knowledge and time. As a society we need to process ideas and understand what certain principles are based upon. – Richard Dreyfuss
