tv-shows people fans
It was really great to also see the response that people were having to 'Treme' 'cause you're in a vacuum when you're on a TV show. You see the response online, you read about it and all of that, but actually to be live and have that many thousands of fans come out, it's really wonderful.
culture roles who-we-are
The role of culture is that it's the form through which we as a society reflect on who we are, where we've been, where we hope to be.
country people community
One of the richest countries in the history of the world having communities where people have to go over half an hour to get to fresh produce and food is unacceptable.
jobs night next-day
I'm so thankful when I have a job. I would say the worst job I ever had was the one I quit after the first night. I was an overnight restaurant janitor. And it wasn't because of the job. We had to do four restaurants in the night, overnight. But I was working with a den of thieves. I just quit the next day.
study behavior accepting
I understand that we should never lose our right to be offended, so I accept it. But for me it was always a study of human behavior because if we just demonize it, it becomes unreal.
life-changing honor actors
There's no greater honor, as an actor, to be a part of a project that changes lives, and awakens and enlightens and entertains.
