Me, sexy? I'm just plain ol' beans and rice.
I was able to be distant by portraying another person, another character, if you will, and I found myself not stuttering and not having anxiety attacks when I was portraying another soul, another being, and I found comfort in that. I think many actors do, playing someone other than themselves.
And as I reinvent myself and I'm constantly curious about everything, I can't wait to see what's around the corner in newfound art and entertainment and exploration.
I'm an Air force Brat and I've lived all over the world and this country and there were people in my community who were gay - nurses, hairdressers, designers - people who just had a different way about themselves.
Oh, there's going to be debate because you're dealing with the Bible and religion is supposed to be separate from state and that to me is already a conflict before it even hits the gay issue.
When you are an actor, you bring a tool in your craft but you are not that person.
My people were homesteading in Colorado before Emancipation.
I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.
I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
I don't know how I did it, but I worked 7 days a week.
Well, thank you and that's for them, but for me, I want to look back at a body of work where when you do the research and you explore the psyche of a character, where she's been, where she is and where she's going.
Struggle and survival, losing and winning, doesn't matter. It's entering the race that counts. You enter, you can win, you can lose .... but it's all about entering the race.
There are just certain realities about our world and I just happen to be creative within it.
