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.
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.
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.
