I can only control what I do. I can try to suggest and be open, but trust is the key.

I can fish from a stick and a string.

There is a dream that the world could be at peace, but that requires that all the folks with arms disarm, or take over all the arms and allow us to trust them.

I love to read, and I like the fact that there's some silence in my life.

Many times - especially when I'm playing an historical character - I want to be really on target with how I create that character and really nuanced with who that human being might be. But I don't want to lose the likeness of me or the depth of my own personality. So meditation and my spirituality has helped me to realize that, yes, I want to get out of the way but I also want the ability to hold on to what the audience likes of what they see of me.

We want to remember to be playful! We're here in this wonderful and incredible world! Like, the grand architect of the universe created this playground. And we're supposed to have fun, and we're supposed to play.
