i want to draw a textbox in the sillouette of a person (abraham lincoln)

and then fill the text box with a speech of his. Is that possible?

I know you can draw a path for the text to follow but i want to actually

FILL the shape with text.

 
Draw your path, then click and HOLD on the text tool. More options will appear, including one that looks like a T inside a shape. Select this, then click on your path and start typing. Note that the path itself will become invisible, so if this is a problem, remember to make a duplicate before you begin.
