We need to know the facts, in order to tell the politicians, "Excuse me, I don't want you to use my money on building a wall that is not going to solve any problems. We have to go this direction instead."
We all have that capacity, to be two things. And after all I was named for both the devil and the angel. Demonio y angel. Dem-y-an.
My two brothers and I grew up in the theater, going everywhere with my parents when they performed.
There is a film called 'A Separation.' If you see it playing, go see it. It's beautiful. It's so well written and the acting is amazing. It's one of those films that you would love to be a part of.
'Lincoln' is a powerful film. It's one of those epic films that talk about this very specific issue in history of the United States.
