To Be A Character Actor Is To

My Rule Is Simply "love What You Do". That Certainly Has Brought Me To The Place I Where Am At Right Now. It Really Has Been With The Work.

The Beauty Of The Unexpected And Unknown, And It's Certainly Very Tantalizing For Me As An Actor. Other Actors Can't Deal With That; They Want To Know, But Then They Make Choices And Decisions With That Knowledge Because That Knowledge Gives Them Forethought, And They Can Think About How They Want To Play Something That Takes Away Spontaneity Of What They Could Be Doing.

I Have This Vision That I'm Really Watching Each One Of My Daughters Start To Become Women, And Mothers. And This Is What's Gonna Save Our Planet.

When I Perform On Stage, You Have To Remember My Performance Or Buy Another Ticket To The Party! In Television And Film, You Can See It Over And Over Again.

As Human Beings, When We're Young, We're Not Jaded. As We Grow Older, We Begin To Take On Ideas Of Our Parents, Family Of Origins And That Changes Us. We Become Less Fluid Sometimes. So For Me, I Look For Roles That Are Uplifting In Many Ways - No Matter What The Race Or Color Of The Role Is. I Want To Go Beyond That And Try To Share What I Think My Gift Is And That Is We All Have This Gift Of Choice. We Just Don't Sometimes Realize We Have That Choice.
