museums play magic
If there are no films or plays of interest to me, I don't go. I know how to go to a museum or a library or pick up a good magazine or I can watch the sun set. I know how to live. There's a whole creation out there full of magic and wonder to be explored.
moving creative upset
Things have a way of moving to the left, and then they move back to the right before somebody finds themselves in the center. That seems to be the nature of the creative world. It's not stagnant. I don't get upset about it.
play discovery littles
If the playwright knew every little thing about his play, why bother? There must be discovery all the time, otherwise why bother to do it?
letting-go perseverance children
The stubbornness I had as a child has been transmitted into perseverance. I can let go but I don't give up. I don't beat myself up about negative things.
mother mistake thinking
There's all kinds of mothers, so to use the label 'mother' and to think you really understood all that a human being is because she's a mother, is a mistake.
actresses looks able
What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being.
roles hierarchy spirit
A person can be big, because of spirit. A person can be big because of their position in the family, the hierarchy in the family. That role has been played by women who are quite thin.
imagination racism political
Let me just say that to imagine racism does not exist is imagination. And to imagine that it does not create its own set of problems is true imagination. So let's not imagine that racism is gone, extinguished, because it's not. We are seeing this in the top levels of the political arena, and we are seeing it very, very plainly.
imagination growth development
What's in front of you is a whole world of experiences beyond your imagination. Put yourself, and your growth and development, first.
doing-nothing good-times having-a-good-time
I am having a good time doing nothing.
fun crazy long-ago
If I had known being insane was so much fun, I'd have gone crazy long ago.
god-love accepting humans
How is it that you profess love for God but can't accept another human being?
culture
Where the women go, the culture goes.
people humanity
I want people to see some of their own humanity no matter who they are.
