I am a teacher born and bred, and I believe in the advocacy of teachers. It's a calling. We want our students to feel impassioned and empowered.
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
I am really not of the school of naturalism. I like style, and you can use more style in theater than in film roles. I love to sink my teeth into a part.
I was always in love with film and becoming a character and playing something else, and nobody ever told me no, so I just followed it, and here I am, having a ton of fun.
I am naive when it comes to love, you know what I mean? I do believe in falling in love at first sight and things like that.
I am a huge fan of world-building. I love doing it in my own books, and I love reading it done well.
I just really always try to do what's in my heart and I'm still passionate about the music; I still love what I am doing.
I can't think of any sentiment which is finer than being in a position to give people something they like. I love giving, I am rather embarrassed at receiving.
I am a movie fan across the board, though, so if a movie is well done then I love it and it does not really matter what the genre is.
I started making music with my band in the '80s, so I am more product of post punk than classical music, and I have always carried on this way.
I am very abnormal... But it wasn't very long ago that I wasn't so abnormal. I was very normal and headed for a lifetime of paying medical bills as proof of my normalcy.
I think America loves cooperative black men. I am not against Colin Powell, but I know who he is.
It's true that my mom loved it when I played Joanie Cunningham in the musical 'Happy Days,' but I think she finally realized I am never going to do 'Oklahoma!'
I want to do theater and I am looking forward to doing more Television and Movies. I also want to direct some plays in theater workshops for people with disabilities.
You cannot be an actor like I am and not have been in some of the worst movies like I have. But I stand before you deeply honored, mighty grateful and just plain gobsmacked.
I come from the place where I am thinking 'I have put my blood on the pages.'
I've worked really hard to get to where I am. Slow and steady wins the race, and I believe in paying your dues.
I am, in some sense, a writer. Even though I kinda downplay the word thing, I do enjoy writing sometimes.
I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be.
I am a big believer in visualization. I run through my races mentally so that I feel even more prepared.
Though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no evil, for I am the evilest motherfucker in the valley
