Life is on the wire. The rest is just waiting.

As a struggling actor, youre not looking for parts that define you; youre just looking for work.

You will never solve poverty without solving water and sanitation.

If I had a bucket list, I'd say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be No. 1.

Being known as a writer did change the relationships I had with directors. The rap on actors is that they always want to inflate their parts. But when directors know you write screenplays and have a different view of things, you really get invited into the huddle in a much fuller way. And those collaborations end in friendships.

I believe a solid, really strong middle-class is the key to making the country in the best way.
