Viola is so right: you never really know anyone. You only know what they want you to know. Every person is a whole universe. So even trying to know one person is actually impossible.

Exactly! My first encounter with Diva Davis was watching her go up against another one of my favz, Vincent D'Onfrio on Law &Order:Criminal Intent.....She killed, and me as a darker skinned West- Indian American, was blown away. Needless to say she got on my radar because I am huge VD fan back to "Full Metal Jacket" and his turn as a train stop on the TV show "Homicide". Thems were the dayz.

@jermainebrown8251 Год назад

I saw an interview she did recently and it became more clear why she has/had such issues with self-acceptance. She had a really, really bad and violent childhood. I mean, all of the things we'd imagine a child might need to grow into a stable, productive, healthy adult were virtually absent in her formative years, save for the sporadic intervention of a lone gaurdian angel in the form of a teacher, and acting. That she came out as well as she did is somewhat a miracle.

@kj7682 Год назад

Sam Jackson has had such an illustrious career you can tell he's genuine, and took that quote to heart

@swinelips Год назад

Jackson is 100% correct on actors doing full run Plays to develop themselves, not just scenes. In my days at the Meisner Center once an actor had two full run plays (6 weeks of rehearsal + a 6 week run, minimum) under their belt, they took giant steps and were pretty much ready to roll with anything.
