I've always noticed a difference between working with a director and working with a writer/director. In how much they're invested and how specific they are.

I've got a fantastic life. I enjoy what I do for a living. I see the blessings; I'm not blind.

Somebody once said that you can never act and be another person; you're only acting facets of yourself. I think there's a lot of truth in that.

Growing up, my parents managed to show me the importance of reading without cramming it down my throat. A difficult task, I'm sure. It breaks my heart to think that there are kids out there, ready to have their imaginations lit on fire, excited and wanting to read, and facing naked shelves in their school or local libraries. Rather than complain or wait till the system stops failing our nation's children this is a matter I feel we must take into our own hands. There are children, right now, waiting-wanting to read. What shall we tell them>

I'll never look down on and I love running into actors who say 'Oh yeah, I did a soap.' I say 'Tell me which one!' It's like being a member of a secret society.

MEN WALK ON THE MOON. To me, this speaks of a time when America wasn't just about the almighty buck. The Russians had put up Sputnik, and the U.S. would not be outdone. I admire that about the American spirit. There's only one spot in history for the first ever of anything.

People keep inviting me back. It's nice to work with the same people when you've had a good time previously, and this is one of those cases.
