My mother was a teacher my father was a community organizer. I come from a working class background.

I feel that directors at times are like the janitors on the set. I am the secretary I am the organizer I am the maid and I ask if they have eaten or rested. The best things are always out of your control. It's those moments that surpass the imagination that are thrilling.

I was an organizer in the Food Agricultural and Tobacco Workers Union down in North Carolina.
