Michael Emerson Quotes

I think of myself as a problem-solver. I want to go in and help the director and the writer to get the best they can out of the text they’re working with Picture Quote #1

I’ve played villains on stage - you know, the Iagos and so on - but I think of myself as a funny person. I mostly did comedies before I did TV work Picture Quote #1

One of the things I like about performing on the stage is that it is a kind of meditative experience. Time does stand still. You have no concept or feeling of the passing of two or three hours’ time. It’s all kind of one present moment, which is a kind of a description of meditation Picture Quote #1

Every pastor I talk to says, and particularly if they’re African American they’ll say, I’m not black enough for African Americans. I’m not white enough for the whites. I’m not Hispanic enough Picture Quote #1

It may be changing, but still it’s the one place, that total control of an institution, that African Americans have. So sometimes, you know, you’ll hear the statement of African Americans saying, I have to work with whites Picture Quote #1

What happens is sometimes these congregations will still have the white style of worship, even though they’re mixed, because folks are willing to give up whatever they may have come with. So it’s still quite a stretch for African Americans, yeah Picture Quote #1

I really do think that every time you play a role well, you are in danger of being identified with that role until the next big thing comes along Picture Quote #1

I spent a lot of time developing in books why worshipping separately actually impacts inequality, economic, social, on and on. So I really do believe there are huge advantages to being together even though it’s difficult, even though we have a lot to learn Picture Quote #1

There are roles that are terrifying because they’re large or you may feel that they’re out of your line, but I’m never terrified once the actual work begins. Once you begin rehearsal, then it’s small building blocks. It’s solving little problems one at a time Picture Quote #1

What sort of difficulties would happen when people of different cultures try to come together to worship? Tiny little things such as let’s tell jokes with each other Picture Quote #1

So different groups have different definitions, and then they clash on those. So it takes adept leadership to say we’re going to work through these Picture Quote #1
