I am involved with 'Write Girl,' which is such a great organization, because they go into inner city schools and work with underprivileged girls to pair them up with other writers. And it gets them learning to express themselves and become familiar with their own voice. They have a 100% success ratio getting those girls into college.

Girls Incorporated of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey continues to advance their cause and to strengthen their community by aspiring to open a Girl's Center for Philadelphia.

I have a passion for libraries. They are potentially real community centers.

I want to help find opportunities for people to become active participants in their communities.

I want to spark ideas and conversations and inspire people to take active roles in their communities, relationships and their well-being.

I love Santa Monica and Venice because I like the beach. I have a lot of friends in that area.

I came up in the community center. I used to be physical director of the South Central Community Center in Chicago on 83rd. It's still there. It used to be around there when I was a kid.

I do want to be involved in quality projects that say something positive about the Latino community.

The Sherry Theater, which I named after my mom, is a place I can go. I do want to give back to the community. There are so many people out there who want to be seen and heard, and get connected.

One of the most important parts of my life has been community.
