“Passion. Confidence. Gratitude. The possibility of making positive change in the world. It’s the sort of “spark” one gets the moment they decide to go after what they want, really fight for it, work hard, and not give up. I love that spark; it’s beautifully contagious.”

Just had to keep debugging by isolating a problem, looking at memory in the limited debugging (weaker than the DOS DEBUG and no symbols) patch and retry and then re-program, download and try again. And again.

If I don’t take care of myself and be kind to myself, then I can’t take care of anyone else.

I think when my son was a baby I got used to not getting enough sleep, rushing and skipping meals, and feeling tired a lot of the time.

I would say, being a parent is what makes me vulnerable. Loving someone so much it scares you.

It’s so weird, not knowing what your life is going to be. I’m being optimistic. And when ‘Leverage’ comes to an end, I have lots of ideas for other things. You can’t really sit and wait for things to come to you.

I think it’s a great time for women in TV and film in general, and I want to help tell these stories.

It’s important for me to play women who can overcome adversity, make change, and take control of their lives.

I find that if I use my time well and take care of my mind/body when I’m outside of work, then I feel more supported throughout my day. So, instead of waking up and going straight for my cell phone or running to the gym.

I find that if I use my time well and take care of my mind/body when I’m outside of work, then I feel more supported throughout my day.

I am drawn to roles that are strong, intelligent, and a little edgy.

If I don’t take care of myself and be kind to myself, then I can’t take care of anyone else.

I enjoy doing fun things outdoors with my son to stay in shape. We like camping together. After a weekend in the woods, I’m sorer than after a week at the gym!

Men always fool themselves when they give up experience for systems born of the imagination.

Well, you know what grown-ups are,’ said Dinah. ‘They don’t think the same way as we do.

I believe in a world of justice and human rights for all. A world where girls can grow up free of fear of abuse. A world where women are treated with the respect and dignity that is their right. A world where poverty is not acceptable. My dear young friends, you can make this your world.

I like the way hip-hop is now. It’s grown up enough so that it can get involved with politics if it feels like it.

Never give up. Just follow your dreams because this business can be so hard sometimes. It doesn’t happen overnight where you get an audition or even a callback and get the role. It takes time.

When will you give up these mad adventures, and leave others to fight their own battles and to save their own lives as best they may?’ When your ladyship has ceased to be the most admired woman in Europe, namely, when I am in my grave.

Where today are the Pequot? Where are the Narragansett, the Mohican, the Pokanoket, and many other once powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice and the oppression of the White Man, as snow before a summer sun.
