To me, any character that is conflicted inside as well as outside of themselves is always a better role to play.
To love without role, without power plays, is revolution.

I am really looking forward to being a role model for girls.
I say this as a Democrat, for whom the Republican domination of government threatens many values that I hold to be important to America's role as a light among nations. But there are no values that matter to me that will not be gravely endangered if we lose this war.

I'll read a script maybe twice, but I'll think about the role more than I'll rehearse lines.

There is a book yearning to come out of me: about how we can build the new collaboration economy, and the role of 'openness' in our quest for efficient use of resources and as a driver of innovation.
