In coming to New York, I got my first Broadway show six months after I got here. So that song, 'Movin' Too Fast,' means so much to me, knowing that feeling where it's just where you imagined yourself, but it's flying by you at a million miles an hour.

I really liked the idea of playing - I won't say the underdog - but characters who have a lot of conflict.

We all have something in our past that is gripping us, and 'Violet' is very much about leaving those things behind.

I've done a lot of research about the Civil Rights movement, and I'm fascinated with how difficult it would have been for a black man to show feelings toward a white woman in that time period.

I don't need to marry again. I've been married twice, and I love it when it works, but these days we live until we're 80 and marriages are jolly long.

The man I love may decide tomorrow that he loves me no more - but if my heart remains open, I will endure the storm.

Remember that creating a successful marriage is like farming: you have to start over again every morning.

Marriage was coined at a time when people died when they were 30. That stability would be nice, and I am definitely open-minded about it, but I don't need it in that way some women do.
