" I have always said 'yes' because it never occurred to me that I could not do anything I set out to do. It is an attitude I endorse completely, although it does matter to whom and to what one says 'yes'--and the manner in which the monosyllable is spoken. You can always say 'yes' and change your mind afterward to 'no,' but 'no' once spoken is irrevocable. The irrevocable, in the theatre [sic] as elsewhere, is to be sternly resisted. "

― Clifton Webb
