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.

When I did Inherit the Wind, I learned about teaching school. I also found out what a fundamentalist was.

To live in the light of a new day and an unimaginable and unpredictable future, you must become fully present to a deeper truth - not a truth from your head, but a truth from your heart; not a truth from your ego, but a truth from the highest source.

What makes Freddy Krueger such a horrible character? What makes him scare you to death? You can't get rid of the guy. He never goes away.

Perhaps the less we have the more we are required to brag.

Probably some of the projects I chose to do after that had more to do with what people thought of me. The industry was very open and probably hoping that I could do anything.

Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.

'True Blood' is shot on film. It's more like a movie, and they take more days to shoot it, plus it has an hour of content. 'The Good Wife' is network. They're shooting on HD. It moves quicker and they only have forty minutes of content instead of a full hour. Not to mention the difference of shooting, you know, rated-R stuff!

Sometimes when a video goes viral, it gets a ton of views very quickly: they'll get a couple of million within a few hours. All of my baking videos, even the more higher viewed ones, are like a slow burn. Right away they usually get 200,000 to 400,000 views, and then as they sit there for a few months, then they really explode.

Salt is the difference between eating in Technicolor and eating in black and white.

My favorite subject is history. It's interesting.

When men destroy their old gods they will find new ones to take their place.

An icon painter starts not with Jesus Christ but by finding earth and rubbing. Now what is earth, what are you rubbing in directing?

The same people who smile in my face would be the same ones to talk behind my back.

When I was little, my dad used to call me 'Bandarella,' because I was a mess - a Bandar is a monkey in Hindi. I was not a girly-girl and would always break something and would be running around and didn't really fit in.

How it came to pass that man, originally taught, as we doubt not he was, to know and to worship the true Jehovah, is found, at so early a period of his history, a worshiper of baser objects, it is foreign to our present purpose to inquire.

A little anger is a good thing if it isn't on your own behalf, if it's for others deserving of your anger, your empathy.

Life is about choices. Some we regret, some were proud of. Some will haunt us forever. 'Black Rain' was very much about choices. The message - we are what we chose to be.

Anybody who has been discriminated against, who comes from a group that's been discriminated against, knows what it's like.

When I play a game, I want to play, not necessarily laugh. If you try to make me laugh at the expense of interactivity, then you've just created another funny game that isn't very fun. The videogame medium itself is a terrible place for complicated humor, drama, and character development.

All over the world, children facing the challenges of poverty attend schools that aren't designed to meet their extra needs; across country lines, the lives of marginalized kids look far more similar than they do different.

He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.

We are ne'er like angels till our passion dies.

Soon we saw that money going to women brought much more benefit to the family than money going to the men. So we changed our policy and gave a high priority to women. As a result, now 96% of our four million borrowers in Grameen Bank are women.

I grow old learning something new every day.
