I really don't want to hurt others for my benefit.

One lesson I got from Gandhi, 'Be the change you want to see,' haunts me. I just feel like I can't keep stomping around pointing the finger at BP when I am supporting the oil industry with my very own dollars and actions by buying their products, helping to pay their mortgage - plastic is from oil... polyester, shower curtains.

If you wear clothing, and put out trash you are using up resources that others also need BUT I can pay attention and I can do better. That I know for sure about me, my soul needs to try or I can't lay my head down on my pillow at night and even hope to sleep.

My acting teacher used to say that people reveal themselves in their opposites.

One of my main techniques for acting is I try to know almost nothing beyond the words that I have to say, because that's my zone of control.

I have to remember to not criticize other networks for other shows when I'm doing interviews because some day I'm going to be going to them, looking for a job, I'm assuming.

I have discovered that I cannot ignore the infliction of suffering - especially for my convenience or pleasure! It's as if a puppy is being kicked in front of me. I must try to do something.
