I think it's very important for everyone in America to realize right now the state of our country, not just on this issue but on a lot of issues, that it is time to get active again. People have just sat back and just sort of said, oh, let somebody else do it for a long time, and we're seeing what's happening to the country, even freedom of speech. It's not going well. So I think this is a real opportunity for people to see, yes, if you do get out and you do get active, there are other people there. You just have to seek them out.
I think that we need to look hard at our beliefs and be responsible about how we speak out.
I helped found Artists for New South Africa, but it used to be called Artists for Free South Africa. Alfre Woodard and a bunch of us started this.

It ain't easy to break out of a mold, but if you do your work, people will ultimately see what you're capable of.

The good people constantly search for something different.
The walls that fence our fields, as well as modern Rome, and not less the Parthenon itself, are all built of ruins.
