It's tough when take 1 is technically okay and take 2 has better acting. Out here (Hollywood) they print the first one. That's the one where we all hit the mark on the floor and who cares about the acting.

I want a part where I can use my own hair, my own voice, and maybe even be literate.

We gained a great deal of prestige, but not much money. We liked to work so much we couldn't hide it and the club owners paid us accordingly.

Of course I work hard. Why shouldn't I? Who am I to think I should get things the easy way?

I'm a born and bred New Yorker. I belong here. Everytime I leave it's like losing a leg.

I am not an 'instant' actor... to really do anything, I've got to try it five or six or a dozen times.
