For me, what I try to heal is the major thing that I think all of us go through, where we came from. From our family of origin.

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

I feel that our stories are cross culturally irrelevant, and I'm a member if a larger community of people who have no boundaries in terms of color or in terms of how I look at other people and their stories.

I take things very seriously, and I give myself time to come down and to ramp up, and it's an inside spiritual journey for me. I feel like acting is a way of feeling your personality, and it's really special. Special to have this kind of effect on people. You can only have that effect if you're really outside of yourself. You can't look at yourself and do what I do at the same time. I have done it that way in the past, but it doesn't really work. I can only soar within the parameters of time, and I use music analogies.

My rule is simply "love what you do". That certainly has brought me to the place I where am at right now. It really has been with the work.

Who told you to step on my sneakers? Who told you to walk on my side of the block? Who told you to be in my neighborhood?

I know from teaching, that actors want to act. Even the subtlest actors can do a little too much.
