I like any story that starts one place and really takes a huge journey to a whole new place; that people in their life want to take that journey. They want to be able to find things in their life that aren't working and work through them to a new place of change. ↗
I want to take roles that challenge me and I want to like the script and obviously feel connected with the director because the director to me is so important. ↗
I would love to make some kind of film about the witches and the Inquisitions. That would be really fun because I don't think their stories have been told enough. ↗
In one hotel, the maid who built the fire fainted in our room. Exhaustion was the cause. We talked with her later and learned that she worked 17 hours a day and makes 95 marks a month - about 50 cents. ↗
So I had to be the doctor to these wounded men until we could remove them to the hospital. There were fifty-four women and forty little boys with the Red Army prisoners, and I went daily to take care of them also. ↗
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. ↗
I thought our community should have a deep dialogue to make black America better. I believe if we make black America better, we make all of America better. ↗
My role on television is one of helping people reexamine the assumptions that they hold. I regard Dr. King. You would never hear me get up and speak without in some way, shape or form, referencing, Dr. King. ↗
