Even now I can say I'd love to finish my career here, and then stay in the game after that.
When I was six years old, my mother died; and then, for the first time, I learned, by the talk around me, that I was a slave.
So I majored in Drama, did all the plays that were possible to do, skated through school in order to be in every production on stage or backstage in whatever capacity and I came to New York looking for work in the summers.
