I always knew I would act. It was just a matter of time.
Courage is just fear, plus prayers, plus understanding.
Some days it is a heroic act just to refuse the paralysis of fear and straighten up and step into another day.
The simple act of caring is heroic.
On a level of simple personal survival, understanding and forgiveness are crucial. . . whether in an intimate personal relationship or on a global level.
What I want to be is an actor, not a star.
Fear is the only true enemy, born of ignorance and the parent of anger and hate. .
