To Be A Character Actor Is To

I Take Things Very Seriously, And I Give Myself Time To Come Down And To Ramp Up, And It's An Inside Spiritual Journey For Me. I Feel Like Acting Is A Way Of Feeling Your Personality, And It's Really Special. Special To Have This Kind Of Effect On People. You Can Only Have That Effect If You're Really Outside Of Yourself. You Can't Look At Yourself And Do What I Do At The Same Time. I Have Done It That Way In The Past, But It Doesn't Really Work. I Can Only Soar Within The Parameters Of Time, And I Use Music Analogies.

When I Listen To My Scene Partners And Listen To Their Breathing Allows Me To Be Connected To Them In Scenes. I Am Not Trying To Multi Task, Not Trying To Talk On The Phone, But In My Character.

I Feel That If You Can Transcend The Color Of Your Skin, With Your Talent, Why Carry That As A Badge Or A Label?

I Have A Lot Of Very, Very Powerful Women In My Life. My Mother Being The First.

My Rule Is Simply "love What You Do". That Certainly Has Brought Me To The Place I Where Am At Right Now. It Really Has Been With The Work.
