When I Set Out To Become An

I Come From A Great Family. I've Seen Family Life And I Know How Wonderful, How Nurturing, And How Wonderful It Can Be.

But Perhaps More Important, As Someone Wishing To Make A Comment Or Two About Contemporary Life And Values, I Don't Have To Dig Through Libraries Or Travel To Exotic Lands To Arrive At A View Of Our Modern Situation Refracted Through The Lens Of The Preindustrial World, Or The Uncommercialized, Unfranchised, Perhaps Unsanitized-and Therefore Supposedly More "authentic"-perspective Ofthe Third World.

Acting Isn't A Game Of "pretend." It's An Exercise In Being Real.

I Had Chosen To Use My Work As A Reflection Of My Values.
