It’s also gotten a lot easier, I mean, tremendously easier, to access the world. The changes that I have seen from 1984 to 2010 have been wonderful. They’re never quite enough, of course, but I can go to almost any motel or hotel, and there are accessible rooms, and many of those rooms now in motels have roll-in showers; there are curb cuts, there are buses.

In this country, I expect theaters, and movie houses to be accessible, and I expect to be accommodated.
