In 1984 I turned to theater in the hopes of finding a more direct form of communication between me and my people.

Communication is very important. And the arts do that whether it's film or theater.

I believe that no matter what you do in life if you learn the basics through theater it will help you in everything else - problem solving communication discipline all of that stuff.

I'm interested in the theater because I'm interested in communication with audiences. Otherwise I would be in concert music.

Actors are agents of change. A film a piece of theater a piece of music or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.

When I was living on the street I would be standing out in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater leaning against my car and signing autographs and nobody had any idea that I was living in it.

I am a big popcorn fanatic. I love popcorn. In fact one year for my birthday my husband bought me one of those big popcorn machines like they have in movie theaters.

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball or the theater or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.

Music art theater. I'm just a big fan of beauty.

But theater because of its nature both text images multimedia effects has a wider base of communication with an audience. That's why I call it the most social of the various art forms.
