I'm Going To Quit Writing.

But I Always Had The Ability To Say No. That's How I Called My Own Shots.

Acting Isn't A Game Of "pretend." It's An Exercise In Being Real.

As I Entered This World, I Would Leave Behind The Nurturing Of My Family And My Home, But In Another Sense I Would Take Their Protection With Me. The Lessons I Had Learned, The Feelings Of Groundedness And Belonging That Have Been Woven Into My Character There, Would Be My Companions On The Journey.

I Was Born Two Months Early, And Everyone Had Given Up On Me. But My Mother Insisted On My Life.

I Lived In A Country Where I Couldn't Live Where I Wanted To Live. I Lived In A Country Where I Couldn't Go Where I Wanted To Eat. I Lived In A Country Where I Couldn't Get A Job, Except For Those Put Aside For People Of My Colour Or Caste.
