I had to work from a young age.

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 want a body of work; I want a good story after a good story.

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

I just want to serve up the goodness and grace that's been given to me because I made a choice that lined up with my passion. And that's what I tell my kids.

If I can look at each character that I am given and create them in a different way from the last role, I'm happy.

I feel that we have come a long way as American people, and we have to start looking at ourselves as human beings.
