“I ended up having a kid very young, and it put things in perspective.”

I always wanted to have a career that would keep me at home in New York so I can work in the theater all the time and be involved in the creative process from the ground up.

I try to have all my characters have a sense of humor. To me the most interesting thing is a desperate character. I think desperation is funny.

Growing up, I wasn’t an athlete or anything like that. The only place I felt like I belonged was in the theater.

Suddenly we had become these people who didn’t drink anything but kale, who ended many of our conversations with tears, and for whom no future was guaranteed. It was kind of funny.

At long last, the battle has ended! And thus, Ghana, your beloved country is free forever!

It began in images and it ended in symbolism.

The Madiba song may have ended, but its melody lingers on.

I thought the world had actually ended. I thought nothing good could ever happen again.

Today the guns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. A great victory has been won. The skies no longer rain with death – the seas bear only commerce – men everywhere walk upright in the sunlight.

I would be surprised if my girls ended up as women without grit. I really would.

Only I can’t do them so I ended up on my ass followed by the most unsightly backward roll out of it, followed by the cast falling over in laughter and a good portion of the audience too.
