Anything you need, you can get on YouTube. It's wacky.
From Lorraine Toussaint
We actors are superstitious creatures. We do all the homework, and we put all of the components together, but there's always one key aspect that we're not in charge of, really, and that's magic. You are always on the lookout for where and how that magic is going to ignite.
When you're playing a real character, you want to honor that person and receive inspiration from that person. They need to anoint you in some way that allows you to borrow just a small piece of their soul. That is the flame.
People's faith, people's beliefs are such a personal thing, and it defies definition. I'm so rarely interested in discussing what I believe or what you believe. I think it's liquid, anyway.
How well I walk my talk, and not talk my talk, determines the quality of my engagement, of all my experience with what is quite personally my God. I'm my greatest teacher, and within me, I have the power to push myself deeper and higher.
I was born odd. I was a strange child. My grandmother was always praying over me. She was always rubbing me and praying over me.
I meditate. I've been a meditator since, I think I was doing it unofficially before all my life and then began to formalize it somewhere around 14.
I think if I weren't an actress, I might have made a halfway decent attorney! I like the way they think.
I've become very fond of the law. I've always been an advocate for justice, which occasionally the law brings to light.
I grew up a middle class, colonized child of teachers and librarians and people, women especially, who treasured education.
