I think people want the intimacy in the engagement of sitting in a theater with people and seeing something happen live and engage in that. I think that could be a very powerful experience.

Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you.

You do good work for a long-enough time, I believed, and you'd get noticed.
