And as a child I was filled with passionate admiration for acts of civic courage I had seen performed by an elderly military doctor, who was a friend of my family.
I went to Howard University and majored in Film Production and minored in Acting. I turned down an opportunity to go pro in Track & Field to do this - I took a chance with this.
I'm not too proud of the movies I made as a grownup except for 'That Hagen Girl', which nobody remembers but which gave me a chance to act.
McCain is the kid who was really cool in middle school but never got high school game and people are sick of him acting like he's still popular.
You don't have to be a certain thing to be cool. If you're white, you don't have to act black or whatever. Just be you and know who you are.
We have to change course. And we have to do so now. That is why I worked with my colleagues in Washington to pass the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The very first act of the Confederate Government was to send commissioners to Washington to make terms of peace, and to establish relations of amity between the two sections.
A government operates and acts differently than a company. So all we want to do is get some transparency here and then determine if the deal should go forward.
Parts of the Voting Rights Act are due to expire next year if Congress doesn't extend them, including the section that guarantees that voting rights will be protected by the federal government.
The whole idea of our government is this: If enough people get together and act in concert, they can take something and not pay for it.
The Reform Bill has destroyed the ancient conduits and strainers, and brings Public Opinion to act upon the government with the rapid, turbulent, and uncertain violence of a flood!
Thanks to President Barack Obama, under the Affordable Care Act, millions more people will be eligible for health insurance, including many people with HIV.
In Indiana, the Affordable Care Act will raise the average cost of health insurance in the individual market by an unaffordable 72 percent.
Your ordinary acts of love and hope point to the extraordinary promise that every human life is of inestimable value.
Acting will always be my first passion, it's what I live to do and I hope to be lucky enough to do it the rest of my life.
For if enough people were really convinced that growth should be halted, and if they acted on that conviction, then billions of others might be deprived of any realistic hope of gaining the opportunities now enjoyed by the more fortunate.
My audiences have given me lots of love as a tennis player. I hope they appreciate my passion for acting.
I've been acting since I was five, and I hope it's something I can do forever. I love it.
So yes, I hope to act in other people's movies, big and small, because that's how I make my living, really.
People always ask me if I'm going to stop modeling because I have started an acting career. I hope to continue to model for years to come.
I hope people start to look at their lives as the most powerful, creative act they will ever offer this world.
