If you can find the courage, if you have in your heart even the slightest bit of rebellion against injustice, maybe you can channel that and become a leader.
I'm one of those lazy actors; I like to take what the playwright wrote and work with that.
I went to see The Piano with Holly Hunter when I was in a Paula Vogel play, and I was just gone. I couldnt focus at all. It took that creative part of my brain with it so absolutely.
I almost dropped dead the first time I heard Bob Dole say 'gay marriage' on the floor of the senate. He wasn't saying nice things, but he said it! I never thought in my lifetime I'd hear that. I just think we're moving now at warp speed. Even when we take a step back like with prop 8, we take two steps forward.
