“It’s easy to forget now, when we’ve come so far, where now marriage is equal under the law—just how much courage was required for Ellen to come out on the most public of stages almost 20 years ago. Just how important it was not just to the LGBT community, but for all of us to see somebody so full of kindness and light, somebody we liked so much, somebody who could be our neighbor or our colleague or our sister challenge our own assumptions, remind us that we have more in common than we realize, push our country in the direction of justice. What an incredible burden that was to bear. To risk your career like that. People don’t do that very often. And then to have the hopes of millions on your shoulders. But it’s like Ellen says: We all want a tortilla chip that can support the weight of guacamole. Which really makes no sense to me, but I thought would brighten the mood, because I was getting kind of choked up. And she did pay a price—we don’t remember this. I hadn’t remembered it. She did, for a pretty long stretch of time—even in Hollywood. And yet, today, every day, in every way, Ellen counters what too often divides us with the countless things that bind us together—inspires us to be better, one joke, one dance at a time.” —President Obama awarding the Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian honor, to Ellen DeGeneres yesterday, along with 20 other Americans who have contributed to their fields.

Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theatre, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.

Actors are artists, and artists can change the world. We all can change the world. ~~Daina

Bowie shirt on Cumberbatch Hamlet. Bowie lived 3 blocks away from my old place in Berlin (across the street from where I went grocery shopping). Berlin was the place to be for us artists. He recorded at Hansa Studios Berlin, where I applied for an apprenticeship when I studied sound engineering. (I was in a documentary about Hansa Studios, despite not getting the apprenticeship. lol.) His characters inspired me to create my own characters for my surrealist vaudeville performances. #Bowie RIP

“There’s a starman waiting in the sky He’d like to come and meet us But he thinks he’d blow our minds”

Thanks for visiting anyway Bowie; you certainly did blow our minds

I love how this image shows Bowie as iconic, transforming, and somehow, immortal, it feels.
