I have never been interested in specific roles.

There is some sadness for me now about acting because it used to be that there was a reverence for actors.

All of the generations go to what is chic for them, and theater seems to be an older generation's art form.

Getting work in theater has always been sort of cyclical.

I mean, there are times when you aren't working, but still believe that work will come.

People who call themselves actors and can't ever get work; they do need to get another profession.

Don't forget the prices are so high in theater; it isn't really where a young person can go on a date and buy two tickets and take someone out anymore.

In theater, the wellspring of the character comes from the doing of it, like a trial by fire, but in front of an audience.

The staff, stage managers, ushers all behaved as if they respected the actors.

I have never been interested in specific roles.

For anyone with half a brain they can see that this play is about the human condition.

Acting is very start and stop.

When I see what I want, I do it.

We all need to go to good theater; that is what I believe will save it.

You can't just trust to luck; you have to really listen to what that character is telling you.

I know people like spectacle, but I'm interested in moving people.

I believe in things that move people, if the audience isn't deeply caught up and moved to either laughter or tears then I don't think it is theater.

At this point the theater America is in such a precarious place.

It is so important to get respect for what you do and at the same time give it.

I think in small towns like this one, whether you're a man or a woman, you basically do what there is to do.

I like time off because I also have a life outside of theater.

But today I felt different, today I forgot how long it takes to get into the skin of a character and I remembered it, because today I actually got into that skin and it felt so different.

I talked with Brian Stokes Mitchell, who agreed with me that if you have a gift there is always stuff to do.

I find that there are few reviews that extol women as wonderful artists.

All of the generations go to what is chic for them and theater seems to be an older generations art form.

I listen more to music when I'm on my computer. I'm into the latest YouTube thing. I'm a nanosecond kind of listener, but if I'm driving I would be listening to a Merle Haggard box set. It's a weird experience listening to 'Working Man Blues' by Merle Haggard and cruising around in a Porsche.

As I assume my responsibilities as your representative, I wish to assure you of my loyalty and devotions, as well of my determination to serve you and the people of Canada to the utmost of my abilities.

I was employed as an investigator and my particular team, we were investigating the role of the business community in the genocide and we identified a bunch of leaders of the business community and I investigated two people.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride

I'm basically different things to different people. If it's a guy, I'm-a probably have my guard up because it's a street rule that when men come around that I don't know, I just immediately throw shade on them. But I don't associate with fellas all that much; if it's a girl - a beautiful girl - I be nice.

Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

The live concert industry has become corporate-ized.

There is a safe spot within every tornado. My job is to find it.

The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.

Maybe the start line was supposed to be your finish line. Dont be afraid to walk backwards.

When I look at acting careers that I really admire, I see that it's been a precise decision-making process for these people. They make decisions based on what they love, and they do only the things that they are passionate about. They play only characters that they can't stop thinking about.

Some people are great at dieting and train somewhat inconsistently - for those people, getting on a great training program and following it will be the best thing for you.

I just love doing broader work - I always get asked to do fairly heavy-duty, intense dramas and interesting, psychologically intense characters. But you know, it's nice to make people laugh sometimes.

To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each others hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.

Dedicate yourself.

There is an optical illusion about every person we meet.

It is strange that modesty is the rule for women when what they most value in men is boldness.

One cannot accomplish anything without fanatacism.

We all end up at least somewhat like our parents, especially in the way we deal with our children.

I had these recipes that say do this, do that. Who MAKES these rules?

All the media are horrible.

The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.

I'm a full-time mom right now and a part-time actress.

Overall, I think the main thing a musician would like to do is give to the listener the many wonderful things he knows of and senses in the universe... That's what I would like to do. I think that's one of the greatest things you can do in life, and we all try to do that in some way. The musician's is through his music.
