I tried to go out for theater or theater arts but I was too scared or too intimidated. But I had a lot of friends on the cross country team that had great senses of humor.

If we become too scared to confront the chief problems of our time there is no hope of ever solving them.

For me already being part of a single parent household and knowing it was just me and my mom you'd would wake up times and hope that the next day you'd be able to be alongside your mother because she was out trying to make sure that I was taken care of. But all I cared about was her being home.

People were concerned about national security and that precluded us from having the opportunity to break through on the issues that we cared most about - the economy education and health care.

When it comes to the health of our families Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day another president. He didn't care whether it was the easy thing to do politically - that's not how he was raised - he cared that it was the right thing to do.

I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.

I'm scared of the unknown future.

Sometimes I make very selfish choices like I did 'Once Upon A Time' for my inner 8-year-old and my hypothetical future child. I've done some movies because I would regret them if I didn't but other projects I've done because they've scared me or if I felt I needed to do a big romantic comedy to help me professionally.
