Sometimes we look for those thunderous things to happen in our life for our lives to change or go in the other direction. We seek the miracle. We seek the parting of the seas, the moving of the mountains. But no, its a quiet thing. At least for me it was.

I coach young people. I have a group called BTP - Broadway Theatre Project.

People talk about love and it seems like a cliche but it's a real thing - the more love we spread around the world the more it's going to change lives.

I want to show people what the possibilities are if you take care of yourself and do the right thing.

You've got to make haste while it's still light of day. My godmother used to say, I don't want to rust out, I just want to work out. If you stand still long enough, people will throw dirt on you.

I didn't know who Langston Hughes was till he met me backstage.

The theater was my first training ground. It taught me discipline, dedication and appreciation of hard work.
