I was a senior in high school when I decided I wanted to work on ants as a career. I just fell in love with them, and have never regretted it.

In my heart, I'm an Alabaman who went up north to work.

It's not about how much movement you do, how much interaction there is, it just reeks of credibility if it's real. If it's contrived, it seems to work for a while for the people who can't filter out the real and unreal.

When I work, I work very hard. So I look to work with people who have that level of dedication. And I depend on that from everyone. From the director to my crews that I work with.

The work on ants has profoundly affected the way I think about humans.

I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.

You don't have to twist my arm to work.

Oh, if I could but live another century and see the fruition of all the work for women! There is so much yet to be done.

Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail.

Change is such hard work.
