grief grieving shortcuts
There is no shortcut to grieving.
perseverance determination fighting
It's important to just keep wanting whatever it is you want and fight for it, desperately.
senior fall years
I married him [Chris Sarandon] my senior year, and after I graduated, he went to the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, and I tagged along and was doing some local modeling and commercials and things like that. A woman named Jane Oliver, who handled Sylvester Stallone, saw Chris at the theater and asked him to come in and audition. We went in and auditioned - he needed someone to read with him. I read with him, and she said, "Well, why don't both of you come back in the fall."
helping-others simple differences
To know that once you decide to look at life outside of the narrow limits of just your world and start to understand that you can make a difference in very simple ways - in volunteering and all the way up to bigger world problems.
sleep want knows
In the U.S., they just want to know who you're sleeping with.
school debt pay
I had school debt I had to pay off. Sometimes I would do commercials to get me through. And so I kept bumping along like that and learning different things. I knew I wanted to get out on my own. I was just super-curious, and I was a good listener. And that got me through.
new-york my-family feels
I'm a native New Yorker. Everything to do with New York feels like my family.
responsibility men increase
Everyone has a responsibility towards this larger family of man, but especially if you're privileged, that increases your responsibility.
facts tribes cameras
I'd have conversations with the camera crew about what was going on in the scene, so that they were prepared to shoot it. I love the fact that when you work, you create this tribe.
family ideas priorities
I feel my family's needs are a priority. I'm not comfortable with the idea of serving the many and ignoring my family.
growing-up people important
It is a different world than when I was growing up, and you started to just kind of maintain at thirty-five and just hope you can hope it together. People are a lot more vital than I am and doing all kinds of things and leading really important movements.
actors film where-you-are
You create this situation where you are so dependent on each other. That's especially true for film. In theater, the actor has much more say, much more control, for better or worse.
kids years firsts
The only time I've really been away from my kids to do work was doing Shall We Dance because they both were in camp and it was the first time in twenty years that I haven't been with my kids.
love-is thinking differences
I always think that the difference between film and theater is like the difference between masturbation and making love. Because, in film, you just have to get one moment right; you're practically by yourself. And in theater, you actually have to have a relationship with the audience.
