Confidence Is The Mark Of A Hopeful

You Know, Real Artists, We Expose Our Flaws. We Long For Intimacy.

I Never Know When Somebody's Going To Knock On The Door Of My Own Unconscious In A Way That I Wouldn't Have Anticipated.

We Who Are In The Arts Are At The Risk Of Being In A Popularity Contest Rather Than A Profession. If That Fact Causes You Despair . . . Pick Another Profession. Your Desire To Communicate Must Be Bigger Than Your Relationship With The Chaotic And Unfair Realities . . . We Have To Create Our Own Standards Of Discipline.

When I Got Out Of Acting School, I Was Lucky To Have Gotten Any Job At All. A Lot Of People Hiring African American Actresses - It Was Right After 'roots,' And For Society, Not Me, It Was Great. Nice Richly Dark-skinned People Was The Fashion, And I Was Not.

I Am Lucky: I Have Fantastic Doctors And A Fantastic Dentist.
