In their arrogance, ABC wanted a number-one show. They wouldnt accept losing that time slot.
Many people are shy when it comes to getting out on a dance floor. Dancing is an activity that... reveals your inner self, whether you like it, or know it, or not. It is hard to fake it on a dance floor.
I never get involved with the ladies I work with.
I write from the same place I parent, and since becoming a single parent, I have found it difficult, if not impossible, to write anything of length.
I write from my imagination, not from what I've read in books or seen on TV or to make money. I wrote from an idea I was passionate about.
It is a good motive, fame and money, as it is tangible and measurable. Being an artist is neither measurable nor tangible and certainly not a way to become rich.
When I was a young actor... the more different you were from the part you played, the more talent it reflected.
I'm the worst person to ask about how to get noticed. It took me 25 years.
The only difference from one $100 million budget film to another is which of the 12 box stars are getting $20 million to be in it.
It takes great technique, tremendous discipline and energy and practice, and damn few are capable. Art is confidence. Technique makes it possible to achieve artistic greatness, but doesn't guarantee it. The great piano artists are not the ones who are best playing Clementi exercises.
We are all vegetarians here, and except for a mountain lion that's been hanging around and killed our dog, we don't have a care in the world.
I am very willing to share whatever I know or feel I know about finding some serenity in this lifetime.
I believe that the first 8 years are most important and the time in a child's life when parents must be absolutely and completely present.
From Maya Angelou I began to believe that I, too, someday, could be a writer, and I also learned how tortuous it can be to be in possession of a unique voice.
