16. "I have more fun and more grand and glorious moments of my life than anyone I've never known. I know that some people call that manic-depress, and that other people call that being touched by God. I just call myself lucky." ~ Richard Dreyfuss

I have nothing that should garner a stigma." ~ Richard Dreyfuss
