I managed because of my mother. I managed because I'm strong. I managed the same way every other abuse survivor survives, you just do. So many people have been abused, it's not rare, it's a very common human experience, and we survive. Also, my music plays a big role in my thriving. Having an outlet, it really makes a difference.
"Diiiie men." If you play any Broad City episode backwards, that's all we're saying.
I love to play different roles. That's just the kind of actor I am.
I have never wanted to be typecast, one of those actors who plays a variation on a one-note theme. So just as I enjoy playing a wide variety of characters, from good to bad to ugly to cute - so I have enjoyed of late working in film and television, as well as in theatres of various sizes and shapes.
I wouldn't mind being the lead guitarist in an incredibly successful rock band. However, I don't play the guitar.

One will only be free when one plays and one's society will become a piece of art.
To me it's just going for the moment that counts. Sometimes, I'll have all the elements there, and I like to play and push something, and to me, in the end, you do achieve things that you're not aware of in the beginning, even though you're there trying to get them.
I go to work, I do a job, I play a role, and then I go home. I don't wear a cape at home. I'm not an invulnerable alien at home.

The art of utterance persuades initially by its music and its rhythm, before semiotic or personal characteristics come into play.
I say it the way it is. I don't play around. That has been my success, in my opinion, for Mississauga.

What's hardest for me to swallow is when there is a love story, say, with a really high-profile male star and there's no reason I can't play the part. They say, 'Oh, we love Halle, we just don't want to go black with this part.'
My background playing soccer gave me a natural advantage over many of the American-born players.
I need players to start thinking for themselves.
The only game I like to play is "Old Maid", providing she's not too old
