believe love-is god-is-love
Love is a big word. I believe in Love. I believe that God is Love.
rights civil-rights life-is
My life is about being a civil rights activist. That's my life. Whoever you are, everyone, we either have civil rights or we don't. It's for everyone.
memories racism alive
I grew up in the Deep South, where sexism, racism, and homophobia were and still are alive and well. I have early, early memories of words and actions of this type being very painful.
real character thinking
I always tell myself that when you're playing a character, pretend they're on trial and you're giving the best witness of their life. You really need to think about every element of the character and represent them properly, as if they were a real person. You want to give 100 percent of what they're worth and what they deserve as people.
practice support choices
Each of us has the choice to attend the church we want to, or none at all. Separation of church and state allows for religions to have their own set of rules as to whom they will accept and who they won't, and the practices they support and the ones they don't. They will continue to be able to do so.
growing-up house church
I did not grow up watching much TV and film. I had a very, very, very, very, very, very church family, and a lot of, like, secular stuff was not around my house.
bartending goes-on salt
When I was in N.Y. bartending, I was in a billion music videos. I was in Madonna, George Michael, Salt-n-Pepa - it goes on and on.
lying strange-places strange
The Internet is a strange, strange place that is full of lies. I would say mostly lies.
christian church favorite-places
Personally, I am a church-going Christian. I love my church, my congregation; it's my favorite place to be.
mean kids color
I went to my first civil rights rally when I was 17 years old. I was a little skinny blond kid, scared to death, marching against the KKK in South Georgia. And I have never stopped marching in protests since. Not ever. I mean, LGBT rights, women's rights, the rights of people of color... I'm your guy. I'm going to be out there marching!
love-you love-is pet
Love is for friends & pets...and family...only if they really love you as unconditionally as your friends and pets.
senior school college
I hated high school and got to college and realized they didn't care if I showed up because I'd already paid. So I decided, 'I'm going to turn this around.' And I did: I got straight A's and was named 'outstanding senior.
life-is-hard criminals purpose
I've always hated criminals and crime. Life is hard enough without someone walking into your life on purpose and making it worse.
school college thinking
I was a criminal science fanatic and went to study it in college as well and I think that helped me [on NCIS] because I was comfortable with the language, I had studied criminal science in school for years.
