Bradley Whitford Quotes

A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it.

I started posting covers online and having this crazy determination about what I wanted to do and just went for it. I was like, 'Okay, no one else can create my future for me, and no one can get what I want for me, so I have to go out and get it myself.'
