Our creator says, 'Here's your birth and here's your death' - and the rest are the things you learn on your journey. This was my experience - and the choice is, I can lay in the misery, or choose to learn from it and move on.

If we plant the right seeds, tomorrow will be better. If you put out good things, then you'll get good things back. That's part of our responsibility as entertainers.

The death of my daughter is a subject I talk about briefly because there is nothing more tragic.

I love sharing my story. It's endlessly healing.

At the end of the day, give up your worries and give thanks for the journey.

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.

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