The kind of acting I love is when you watch and you discover what you think perhaps you weren't supposed to see: the chink in the armor.
I'd love to act. I feel that it's another naked, mysterious challenge, like jazz. It kind of intrigues me in the same way.
My love for the theater has always been a priority. That hasn't changed. I got into acting that way. The film work that came up was really a surprise.
So I find the fascination, the love, the incredible skill and everything to do with acting, writing plays, and doing them, just darling. Lovely. I love actors.
I totally love to act. I don't care if it's a musical, a comedy. I just like to work and interact with other people.
My very first acting gig was in a movie for Russ Parr. He did this movie called 'Love for Sale,' and that was my first role in any film.
I would love a recurring role on '90210.' I would say yes to just about any role in acting that doesn't tarnish my image.
I do my independent stuff where it's real acting if you like. Intense, drama stuff. I love me actions.
I started playing piano when I was 6. And I knew that wanted to be involved in that form of expression, whether it was through music, or acting, or dancing, or painting, or writing.
To me, all writing is like music. And especially dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composer. Acting got me sidetracked.
Books are acts of composition: you compose them. You make music: the music is called fiction.
The act of conducting in itself, of waving my arms in the air and being in charge, I didn't miss. I missed the sensual pleasure of being in contact with music.
You know, I had the music baskets and the writing basket. And I had the acting. And those eggs just hatched first, and the others were slow to incubate.
I had piano lessons at five and started guitar at ten, but although music and acting was always around me, my parents never pressured me into it.
Acting had been a hobby that turned into a career, the directing was a hobby that turned into a career and music just really allowed me to find another way to express myself.
I think, as far as branching out with acting, it would take something really right on the mark to distract me from music, because music is everything to me.
A democratic medical establishment does not alter people's bodies to fit regressive social norms; it advocates for patients by demanding the social body get its act together.
In my grandfather's day, there was a different perspective on war and men that went into war; it was such a patriotic act to fight for your country in the Forties.
My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy, very reserved kind of child. But obviously, something changed!
My mom took all of my behavior personally. Everything I did, she thought it was an act of rebellion against her. But it was just me being me.
I think I've done 200 plays and 125 movies, so I've been very lucky to have made a living at acting.
