Nature more of a stepmother than a mother in several ways has sown a seed of evil in the hearts of mortals especially in the more thoughtful men which makes them dissatisfied with their own lot and envious of another s.

The considerations of a corporation especially now have nothing to do with art or music.

What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz blues country music and so forth. I do them all like a good utility man.

Color is a plastic means of creating intervals... color harmonics produced by special relationships or tensions. We differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony.

Music Rock and Roll music especially is such a generational thing. Each generation must have their own music I had my own in my generation you have yours everyone I know has their own generation.

Music makes us want to live. You don't know how many times people have told me that they'd been down and depressed and just wanted to die. But then a special song caught their ear and that helped give them renewed strength. That's the power music has.

After doing 'Firefly' and moving on I always wanted to be part of a series again. I love doing films too but there's just something special about being part of the team and feeling like you're actually a part of the family and I always look to re-create that.

I'm fighting the label of 'Black' actress simply because it's very limiting in people's eyes especially people who are making movies.

My fans mean everything to me - especially the sisters! When you're on 'The View' or you're doing movies and stuff you're a little bit insulated. It means so much to me when a woman comes up to me and says 'Sherri you said what I feel.' That just means so much to me to know that I have that support.

I really love the independent movies and I just think that sometimes when they throw a lot of money into it and a lot of special effects and a lot of stunts that you lose the connection the human connection and I personally love movies that are about the human connection.

In a lot of movies especially big studio ones they're not constructed in any other way than to get people to like them and then tell their friends. It's a product.

I think what a lot of action movies lose these days especially the ones that deal with fantasy is you stop caring at some point because you've lost human scale.

Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!

I loved old black and white movies especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs the music the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.

I don't get it when you get so much openness about the way movies are made and the special effects and the behind-the-scenes stuff and all of that. I can't help but feel like this reduces it a little bit.

Quite often - a lot of the work I had done had been extensively with women. Most especially in the theater but also quite often in the movies. That has its own delights and maybe pitfalls too.

I'm not an especially highbrow person but I have always loved small quirky edgy movies.
