SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I don't know who it was that said that if you're a musician you can't be an actor, or if you're an actor, you can't be a musician or a writer. I remember this story about Orson Welles facing down a roomful of his critics and saying, 'I'm a writer, I'm an actor, I'm a director, I put on radio plays, I put plays in the theatre. How come there are so many of me and so few of you?'"
