For myself, I believed that that 13th of March should see a fight to the finish, cost what it might! for if Bloemfontein was to be taken, it would only be over our dead bodies.

Naturally our Government would not consent to such terms, and so the war had to proceed.

The condition of the wounded touched my heart deeply.

These deserters were our undoing. I shall have a good deal more to say about them before I finally lay down my pen, and I shall not hesitate to call them by their true name, the name with which they will be for ever branded before all the nations of the world.

Broadway is like a club I haven't been invited to, and I'm hoping that maybe they will give me a guest pass one of these days.

I do think there are trends in your life once you've been auditioning long enough. I was the angry teenager and then the sweet victim.

I think when you're on a show that takes place in N.Y.C. but film it in L.A. there is just a vibe that feels wrong.

I used to joke that if acting didn't work out, poetry was my commonsense fallback.

I usually spend my free time worrying about when I'm going to work next.

I wish feminism wasn't so scary to people. It should be an evolving concept. I think it's an umbrella term to embrace conflicting ideas.

I wrote a lot when I was younger, though never anything like plays or scripts.

Theater has always been terrifying to me.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can call myself an activist because I don't really do enough of anything.

I went to really good New York City public schools that had arts programs. So in junior high, I got into the drama department. From there, I went to a performing arts high school in New York City called Laguardia and I just kind of fell into the professional side by happenstance.
