The older we get the less afraid we are.
Acting isn't a game of "pretend." It's an exercise in being real.
I do know that I'm responsible not for what happens, but for what I make of it.
I didn't run into racism until we moved to Nassau when I was ten and a half, but it was vastly different from the kind of horrendous oppression that black people in Miami were under when I moved there at 15. I found Florida an antihuman place.
So I'm OK with myself, with history, my work, who I am and who I was.
Racism is very painful. That's life. It never ends.
