When I was a young actor... the more different you were from the part you played, the more talent it reflected.

In many ways I wish I wasn't an actor dragging around the baggage from being one so that I could just devote my energies to encouraging people to find their true selves.

It is a good motive, fame and money, as it is tangible and measurable. Being an artist is neither measurable nor tangible and certainly not a way to become rich.

Life has never been easy. Nor is it meant to be. It is a matter of being joyous in the face of sorrow.

A stage play requires very different craft from a book, fiction or otherwise, and ditto from a screenplay.

I believe that the first 8 years are most important and the time in a child's life when parents must be absolutely and completely present.

If we wait until our lives are free from sorrow or difficulty, then we wait forever. And miss the entire point.
