When I am presented with good work, I accept it. Wherever it is.
What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being.
I love theater. To have the people onstage right there, to be working in concert with other artists, this is a like a school of fish moving together.
Every role affords me something different in the way of understanding, and that's really why you take these roles, not to show that thing that people talk about of showing what you can do - that has nothing to do with anything.
Let's just say that the theater is not for the faint of heart.
There was a time when I couldn't watch sitcoms for a while because it was just cacophony, it was just noise.
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.
As artists, we do the work that we do. Receiving an award or not receiving an award in no way diminishes one's talent or value.
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.
