My grandmother was born in 1900, and she would regale me with tales I call 'Little House on the Prairie' tales, but they were tales of segregated and racist America growing up in Alabama and Mississippi, where she came from.

I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me.

I never wanted to lose out on an acting job and wonder if I hadn't been trained enough.

To be known by the public, honestly. People come up and tell them how good I make them feel.

I went to work. That was a turning point. When you have to do eight shows a week and your name is on the marquee, no matter what is going on at home or what's on the cover of the newspapers, you've got to do your job.

If you had a hobby, family, or wanted to do things besides work - you should join VMware. We didn't have nearly as long hours as Google given our customers worked normal business hours.

My intention of making acting a career was about being onstage.

One of the things I'm most proud of about my career is the fact I've managed to keep options open.
