For me, the key is always trying to find the connection between the audience and the character I'm playing. That's important to me, in any work I do.

I'm a big believer in playing truth and not doing things for effect. It's not about whether you look pretty or glamorous. It's about whether people connect.

I want to be challenged. Every job I've done so far, every character has been completely different and that's really important to me because I don't want to fall into a stereotypical box.

A good actor knows exactly what the camera wants, what the sound wants, where to find the light and how to tell a good through line and journey.

I don't approach my acting as just saying a few lines and then going off-screen. It's a craft. I really invest in trying to make it a craft.

As with all matters of ht heart, the odds may not be in our favour but it is the only risk worth taking.

In the tabernacle of grace, all your obstacles will be tackled. Wake up to see it happen live. You are victorious in all things!

You have this thing called a life. Its only you that gets to live it and you only get to do it one time

I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.

My Sunday mornings are spent in a recovery meeting in Pacific Palisades.

I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet.

He said to me, Bailey, things are changing between us. And at first I thought it was true. But the way I see it, Nothing changes until it changes right?

I have called President Obama, and President Obama called me on various issues. This is part of our regular contacts, there is nothing unusual or extraordinary about it.

I hope to be remembered as someone who made the earth a little more beautiful.
