I Went As Far Away From Home

Each Person Has A Literature Inside Them. But When People Lose Language, When They Have To Experiment With Putting Their Thoughts Together On The Spot-that's What I Love Most. That's Where Character Lives.

When I Got Out Of Acting School, I Was Lucky To Have Gotten Any Job At All. A Lot Of People Hiring African American Actresses - It Was Right After 'roots,' And For Society, Not Me, It Was Great. Nice Richly Dark-skinned People Was The Fashion, And I Was Not.

People Who Are Sick, Or Who Have Been Sick, Or Have Come Close To Death Have A Lot To Say - And They Want You To Hear It.

I Love Studying How People Are. Not Just What They're Saying, But How They Are, What They're Doing.

I'm Interested When Things Are Upside Down - Because There Are So Many Possibilities In That One Moment. There Is A Lot That Is Exposed.
