“During my boyhood, I was a more regular attendant of the theater galleries than I was of the schoolroom. and when I graduated from high school, the first thing I did was to seek out the offices of the theatrical managers. Well, I drifted upon the stage without any obstruction from any quarter. I am very happy in my career. I love my work and thoroughly believe everything in this world turns out for the best.” — William Desmond
