“Interpreting gives me a chance to do what I do well and have done since I was a kid. At one time, I might have wanted to be an actor or performer, and it somehow fulfills that in a non-threatening way.” WayGivingWellsDoneMightKidsWantedActorsChanceGive MePerformersOne TimeThreateningInterpretingGive Me A Chance Author:Jack Jason
“I grew up in the spoken-word community. Before everybody had a home studio, or before we could get booked for shows, open mics were the only way to be heard by other people. It really gave me a chance to develop as a performer. Reading a piece of poetry with no beat in front of 20 people is way more challenging than rocking for 10,000 people.” PeopleWayShowsHomeReadingCommunityChallengesChancePiecesHeardFrontsGrewGrew UpBeatsStudiosPerformersSpoken WordMics Author:Macklemore
“What is the problem of women's freedom? It seems to me to be this: how to arrange the world so that women can be human beings, with a chance to exercise their infinitely varied gifts in infinitely varied ways, instead of being destined by the accident of their sex to one field of activity--housework and child-raising. And second, if and when they choose housework and child-raising to have that occupation recognized by the world as work, requiring a definite economic reward and not merely entitling the performer to be dependent on some man.” IfsMenWorldWayHumansChildrenProblemSeemsSexChanceHuman BeingsEconomicFieldsExerciseActivityRewardsAccidentsDependentOccupationPerformersDefiniteDestinedHouseworkIfs And Author:Crystal Eastman

“Mads has a terrifying subtlety and as the episodes go on, you start seeing the way a person can command other people by doing practically nothing and terrifying the sh*t out of you. He is the most astonishingly subtle performer with the most incredibly keen sense of what his face can do and how his words can form. He has a mission. Nothing is by chance. I truly believe as long as we have success in seasons that Mads will become the defining face of Hannibal Lecter.” PeopleWayBelievePersonsLongFacesFormCan DoChanceSeeingGoes OnSeasonsMissionsCommandSubtlePerformersEpisodesDefiningSubtlety Author:David Slade
