As long as our civilisation keeps trundling along generally forwards, then there is the possibility of a future where ethnicity is merely an interesting badge, not a uniform you can't take off.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
We have an opportunity to create a future where we are actually encouraging providers to keep people away from acute care, whenever possible.
The tradition you have at the University of Texas is like no other. It helped me in the future where I got to play in 2 cities that were rich in tradition.
You know, I've always thought that it would be really funny if somebody made a romantic comedy where absolutely everything went well from beginning to end.
The funny thing about children is that, whichever room we're in, that's where they'll be. If I'm in the bath, they'll want to be in there too, playing with the toothbrush pot or brushing my hair.
It usually takes two people a little while to learn where the funny buttons are and testy buttons are.
I've always had a penchant for dialects. I remember getting detention and being told, 'Have a think about where doing these funny voices might get you someday.'
Yeah, there were a few years in the early nineties where I really began to hate what was valued as funny and just sort of what was valued in stand-up, period.
My church is in the detention facilities where I preside and celebrate the Eucharist. To me that's the church. That's the people of God.
America is God's Crucible, the great Melting-Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming!
God is not a vending machine where if you put in enough prayer quarters we get a Reese's Pieces bag that pops out.
I've gotten to go wonderful places, meet interesting and intelligent people, and I started of course in the theatre and continue to work in the theatre where there is some intelligence involved in it.
We are rather in the position that used to exist at the BBC, where you feel that you can pick up the phone to people who are experts in their field and they will be very favourably disposed to you and share their knowledge.
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.
I am reaching a point in my life where the basketball chapter in my life is slowly closing from a competition standpoint.
Even though I'm from the Midwest, the majority of my life has been spent on the coasts where being gay wasn't really much of a conversation.
Being followed is weird, that people want to discuss where I ate lunch or what I wear when I go to lunch... the private life is just gone.
Dealing with the fame and going from nothing and becoming something where everyone wants a piece of you, your life changes in a day.
Of all the movies I've done in my life, the one where I play a crazy awful psycho woman finds me my husband.
I've played so many jobs where I'm fearless, but it's far from me. I wish I were like that in real life.
