Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life.

Inside of all the makeup and the character and makeup, it's you, and I think that's what the audience is really interested in... you, how you're going to cope with the situation, the obstacles, the troubles that the writer put in front of you.

You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little because sometimes that seems far beyond your reach. Then I think you have to develop a kind of resistance to rejection, and to the disappointments that are sure to come your way.

I never liked the name Eldred. Since nobody knew me in New York, I just changed to my middle name.

If you have to tell them who you are, you aren't anybody.
