QUOTES:

Mainly, I thought of Barney as a kid. You can always look into the faces of kids and see what they’re thinking, if they’re happy or sad. That’s what I tried to do with Barney.

We began to do little things, have little scenes where we just talked about things that had nothing to do with the plot. In fact, in the beginning, they didn’t want us to do that. But as time went on, you see that in so many shows. I think we were the first to do that.

My idol was Jack Benny and he was the master of subtlety and timing.

Happy Birthday: Diane Guerrero

dianeguerrero.jpgHappy Birthday actor Diane Guerrero

Born: July 21, 1986 in New Jersey, USA

Currently the star of the hit TV show on Netflix “Orange is the New Black”

QUOTES:

I feel like you can’t really be truthful as an artist and empathize with the human experience, unless you know your truth and you’re not living a lie. So I’m learning through it, and it’s making me a better person, and it’s making me a better artist, I think.

I had dreams, but always told myself, ‘Nah, that would never happen.’ For a poor Latina, [acting] wasn’t a reality.

I broke down. I hid under the bed because I was afraid that somebody was going to come for me. I don’t know who that someone was but I was just so scared. Not a single person at any level of government took any note of me. No one checked to see if I had a place to live or food to eat, and at 14, I found myself basically on my own.
