Nothing is so discouraging to an actor than to have to work for long hours upon hours in brightly lighted interior sets.
I don’t think anyone sets out to malign poor people but certainly that’s what we do through organizations such as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
I was never the kind to throw parties for my birthday. I remember how embarrassed I used to be when they’d make me cut a cake on the sets, and the unit would sing ‘Happy Birthday.’
When a company owns one precise thought in the consumer’s mind, it sets the context for everything and there should be no distinction between brand, product, service and experience.
No one set that I ever do is the same. I mean, if I go to a comedy club, and I perform three sets, all three sets are different because anything can happen in between sets.
I’m trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.
I am known as the gossip queen on sets!
I couldn’t care less about actors’ trailers and food on sets and stuff like that – I just want to act.
I’m a very lucky man in this chapter of my professional life, ’cause I get to do jobs with wildly different skill sets.

Well over fifty years ago I was making radio loudspeakers and radio sets in Rochester, New York; pretty young and inexperienced; but we survived the depression.
Intuition is the wisdom formed by feeling and instinct – a gift of knowing without reasoning… Belief is ignited by hope and supported by facts and evidence – it builds alignment and creates confidence. Belief is what sets energy in motion and creates the success that breeds more success.
On film and TV sets, they let you sit down. Theater is like pushing a boulder up a hill each night. It’s a fun boulder, but it’s a boulder.
The music is the emotional substance of the show; the book just sets it up. Nobody goes to a musical to hear the book. That’s the way it works.
In the flush of love’s light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.
America has a black president, but there are no black studio heads, and there just aren’t that many black people working anywhere on film sets, let alone in positions of power in Hollywood. That’s what needs to change.
