This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work – they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night perhaps.

2

The only reason I would stay away from a period piece is because sometimes the women are painted in a very stereotypical weakling wallflower way – that's something I don't want to do. I want to show strength in the women I play and a journey of some sort.

1 Age

  • 1. My acting career began at age three and my parents got me into it. I was in a McDonald's commercial.
  • 2. We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
  • 3. To me old age is always fifteen years older than I am.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I have two younger sisters and I'm such an advocate of owning who you are as a person. Don't be ashamed or intimidated. Never feel like you are not amazing.
  • 2. They were so good that you just had to sing the song to them once and they got it. It's amazing. Sometimes it didn't come out the way you wanted but it was good.
  • 3. I feel fortunate I have this amazing relationship with so many people in America because I was in their homes at a very private time of day. They probably might have still had their robe on and their slippers and haven't made the beds.

3 Anger

  • 1. Get mad then get over it.
  • 2. The flame of anger bright and brief sharpens the barb of love.
  • 3. It isn't enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into 'How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?'

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Since I wrote to you last we have got our chapel beautifully lighted with gas and have had our anniversary.
  • 2. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.
  • 3. So while an incredible amount of progress has been made on this fifth anniversary I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you – and fight alongside you – until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back all the way.

5 Architecture

  • 1. But the building's identity resided in the ornament.
  • 2. The art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that express themselves first in the human person. The art of building or architecture is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person and in the end they unite.
  • 3. One of my favorite vacation places is Miami because of the people the water and the beach – of course – and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful.
