Military deployments have never been something to enjoy, but the consequence of the actions, the shared nature of the sacrifices, and the nobility of the cause are invigorating. To be clear, I’m not talking about the killing and the death; rather, the sense of purpose that pervades every action, reaction, and outcome.
An important aspect of the current situation is the strong social reaction against suggestions that the home language of African American children be used in the first steps of learning to read and write.
I think the fact that we don’t usually see ‘normal’ sized women on television has something to do with the reaction I had. I am quite tall – I am 5ft 8in and a definite size 12 – but you know this whole debate about my revealing too much flesh on TV has been blown out of proportion.
The reaction of the public plays a very important role. It gives us an adrenaline boost, especially when people start to shout and clap their hands in time with the music. That really helps us to go on.

I have found that I get a better reaction from people once I am less bothered about their reaction.
Whether it’s a double take or a spit take or an extra-long pause before a reaction or a line, I try to be as cognizant as possible about the technical end of it. So I think the physical stuff works easier for me than maybe for others who are more just going on instinct.
Your reaction when you lose control in a situation is to try and hang on tighter.
I’ve always been a believer in research. It’s great to have an instinctual human reaction to a character, too, of course, but it has to be countered with knowledge and understanding.

Out of the blue, I received this offer and invitation to be a part of this movie, ‘The Good Dinosaur.’ I turned to my Pixar experts, my kids, and asked them what this could all be about. Of course, they flipped out, and it was pretty obvious from their reaction that I was going to do this.
The prospect that I could actually be a journalist triggered a ‘Who do you think you are?’ reaction in me. It was only in going to law school and being unhappy there that I realized that I really, really had to try it.

My first reaction to being pigeonholed or pushed into certain confines is to be like, ‘No, I’m the opposite,’ you know? Like, don’t put me in a stereotypical black-girl category, because I’m not like that; I’m doing this thing over here.
Every painting I do is related to the last one: it may be a continuation of a previous painting or it may be a reaction against it.
