Amy Robach
I used to work with mentally disabled people when I was 18 or 19, changing diapers and catheters. I was working, like, 16 hour night shifts, having to distribute meds and go capture people who would break out of the house.

Baltasar Kormakur
It's just insane because, as a longtime WWE fan, I still have all of my action figures in storage.

It was humbling to play Mark Ashton. He was a political activist and a humanist, and there is incredible conviction in his vision.

I really had to come to the conclusion, the sort of humbling conclusion that, guess what, I'm no different than anybody else: I've got to sort of ask for help - not something I ever did, ever. And then part two of that is, like, accept it when it comes, and, you know, believe what people tell me.
