बड़े होते हुए भगवान में आस्था का क्या अर्थ है, इसकी मुझे बहुत ही धुंधली सी समझ थी क्योंकि, भले ही मैं एक कैथोलिक स्कूल में पढ़ती थी, लेकिन चूंकि माता-पिता खुद आस्था में सक्रिय रूप से शामिल नहीं थे, इसलिए घर पर कभी इस बात को बढ़ावा नहीं मिला। तो, इसका परिणाम यह हुआ कि मुझे लगता है कि मैं भगवान को बस एक ऐसी हस्ती मानती थी जिसे आप एक डिब्बे में बंद करके किसी शेल्फ पर रख देते हैं और संकट के समय ही उन्हें याद करते हैं।
I had a very marginal understanding of what faith in God was growing up because, although I went to a Catholic school, without having parents who really were actively involved in faith there was no reinforcement of it. So, as a result of that I guess I just kind of thought that God was somebody that you put in a box and you put Him on a shelf and you called on him when you had crises.

जब आप उन चीज़ों से जुड़ते हैं जो अगली पीढ़ी के लिए मायने रखती हैं, तो यह युवाओं को ऐसा महसूस कराने का एक तरीका है कि "कोई तो है जो मुझे समझता है। चर्च कोई पुरानी या बेकार जगह नहीं है। मुझे लगता है कि मेरी तकलीफों को सुना जा रहा है। जिन मुद्दों को लेकर मैं चिंतित हूँ, उन पर बात हो रही है।"
When you hit the things that are relevant to the next generation, - it's a way for young people to feel like "Somebody understands me. Church is not irrelevant. I feel that my hurts are being addressed. Things that I am concerned about are being talked about."

भगवान ने मेरी ज़िंदगी में एक बड़ी उम्र की महिला को भेजा - जो मुझसे बहुत बड़ी तो नहीं थीं, लेकिन प्रभु के साथ रिश्ते के मामले में वह मुझसे कहीं अधिक परिपक्व थीं... उन्होंने मेरा मार्गदर्शन करना शुरू किया। वह मेरे जीवन के लिए एक बहुत बड़ी मिसाल बनीं।
God sent me a woman who was an older woman - who wasn't much older than me but she was older in the sense (of her relationship with) the Lord...She started guiding me. She was very much a model for my life.

मुझे लोगों की आलोचना, ब्लॉगिंग और ईमेल पर धमकियों का सामना करना पड़ा क्योंकि वे वास्तव में बात को समझ नहीं पाए थे। उन्हें लगा कि मैं समलैंगिकों के विरोधी (एंटी-गे) विचार रखती हूँ। यह बिल्कुल सच नहीं है। मेरी आध्यात्मिक माँ का एक समलैंगिक बेटा है। यहाँ तक कि वह भी अपने दोस्तों से कहता था, "नहीं, यह सच नहीं है। वह मुझे बहुत स्वीकार करती हैं।" इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि मैं उसकी जीवनशैली को स्वीकार करती हूँ। इसका मतलब यह है कि मैं उसे एक इंसान के रूप में, ईश्वर की एक रचना के रूप में और एक मूल्यवान व्यक्ति के रूप में स्वीकार करती हूँ।
I got the bad press and the blogging and the email threats because people really didn't understand. They thought I was anti-gay. That's not true at all. My spiritual mom has a gay son. Even he was telling his friends "No, that's not true. She's so accepting of me." That doesn't mean I accept his lifestyle. It means I accept him as a human person and as a creation of God and a person of value.

अभिनेता हमेशा मोहरे होते हैं। खाद्य श्रृंखला (सिस्टम) में वे सबसे आखिरी पायदान पर होते हैं।
Actors are always the pawns. They're the last ones in the food chain.

मुझे ऐसा महसूस होता है कि भगवान ने मुझे काम करने का एक अलग तरीका दे दिया है। मैं 'एक्टिंग 101' नाम से कैमरे के सामने अभिनय की एक बुनियादी क्लास चलाती हूँ...मेरी क्लास में, छात्रों को भरपूर प्रोत्साहन, अभिनय की कला की बारीकियाँ और जो कुछ भी मैं उन्हें दे सकती हूँ, वह सब मिलता है। हमारे कुछ नियम हैं। हम भगवान के नाम का गलत इस्तेमाल नहीं करते। जब हम कैमरे के सामने कोई गलती करते हैं तो अभद्र भाषा का प्रयोग नहीं करते...वहाँ सुरक्षा का एक माहौल रहता है...वे खुद को बहुत सुरक्षित महसूस करते हैं।
I feel like God has moved me into a different way of doing things. I teach basic on-camera acting class called Acting 101...In my classroom, the students get every ounce of encouragement and craft and anything I'm able to give them.We have some rules. We don't take the name of The Lord in vain. We don't use foul language when we mess up on camera...There's a climate of safety...They feel very protected.

छात्रों के अभिनय के लिए अच्छी, प्रेरणादायक और चुनौतीपूर्ण रचनाएँ ढूँढना बहुत मुश्किल होता है। मैं अपनी क्लास में अपनी पूरी क्षमता के साथ ऐसा करने की कोशिश करती हूँ।
It's very hard to find good and wholesome, edifying and challenging writing for the students to perform. In my classroom I strive to do that as best as I can.

ब्रॉडवे और टेलीविज़न पर काम करने के अपने 40 वर्षों के पूरे अनुभव को मैं अपने छात्रों के सामने रखती हूँ और उन्हें मुझे पूरी तरह निचोड़ लेने देती हूँ (यानी मेरा सारा अनुभव सीख लेने देती हूँ), लेकिन क्लास के अंत में वे सभी ऐसा महसूस करते हैं कि उन्होंने इससे बहुत कुछ हासिल किया है। छात्र मेरी कक्षा में आगे बढ़ते हैं क्योंकि वे सुरक्षित महसूस करते हैं। उन्हें ऐसा नहीं लगता कि उन पर चिल्लाया जाएगा।
The experience I had all those 40 years of working on Broadway and working on television, I bring it to students and I let them kind of drain me dry but they all feel at the end of the class that they are getting so much out of it. The students grow in my classroom because they feel safe. They don't feel like they're going to be yelled at.

हमें यह अहसास हुआ कि कई चर्चों में मीडिया की शक्ति का उपयोग करने की बहुत बड़ी आवश्यकता है...प्रचार करने के कई अलग-अलग तरीके हैं। आप महिमा गाकर प्रचार कर सकते हैं। आप उपदेश देकर प्रचार कर सकते हैं। आप भूखे को खाना खिलाकर भी प्रचार कर सकते हैं। कुछ ऐसे लोग भी हैं जो कभी चर्च की देहरी पर पैर नहीं रखेंगे लेकिन वे कोई नाटक देखने जरूर आएंगे।
We realized that there's a great need in many churches to use the power of the media...There are a lot of different ways to preach. You can preach by praising. You can preach by preaching sermons. You can preach by just giving someone food when they're hungry. There are people who will never darken a church door but they will come to see a play.

मैंने अपना दिल यीशु को सौंप दिया। मैंने उन्हें अपने प्रभु और उद्धारकर्ता के रूप में स्वीकार किया, बाइबल पढ़ना शुरू किया, एक चर्च जाना शुरू किया (और) यीशु के साथ एक नया रिश्ता जोड़ा।
I gave my heart to Jesus. I accepted him as my Lord and Savior, started reading the Bible, started going to a church (and) started a relationship with Jesus.

रिश्ता टूटने से हर परिस्थिति में एक संकट पैदा हो गया...क्योंकि एक परिवार बिखर जाता है। हम सब जानते हैं कि इसका एक बच्चे पर क्या असर पड़ता है। हम सब जानते हैं कि यह एक महिला की पहचान को कैसे प्रभावित करता है। लेकिन, साथ ही, इसने मुझे उन सभी चीज़ों का पुनर्मूल्यांकन करने पर मजबूर कर दिया जो टिक नहीं पाईं - लोगों का सारा ध्यान, सारी सफलता, वित्तीय सुरक्षा। उन सबका कोई मूल्य नहीं रह गया था।
Broke up created a crisis...in every circumstance because a family gets blown apart. We all know what that does to a child. We all know what that does to a woman's identity. But, at the same time, it caused me to start to reevaluate all those things weren't able to stay intact - all the people's attention, all the success, the financial security. It didn't have any value.

स्कूली दिनों में, मैं हफ्ते में लगभग चार दिन सुबह आठ बजे की प्रार्थना सभा (मास) में जाती थी।
In grammar school, I went to eight o'clock mass pretty much like four days a week.

अगर मैं अपनी आस्था के बीजों को पीछे मुड़कर देखूँ, तो वे उसी दौर में बोए गए थे। मुझे अपने शुरुआती किशोरावस्था के दिन याद हैं - जब स्वाभाविक रूप से हम अधिक विद्रोही, अहंकारी, आत्म-केंद्रित और जिद्दी हो जाते हैं - तब मेरी एक नन थीं, सिस्टर मैरी मार्टिनेला, जिन्हें मैं कभी नहीं भूलूँगी - सिर्फ इसलिए कि उन्होंने एक ऐसी बात कही थी जो मेरे मन में बस गई। और वह एक डाँट थी।
If I could look back at the seeds of faith, they were planted back then. I remember in my early teenage years - when, naturally, we become more rebellious, prideful, self-directed and self-willed - I had this nun, Sister Mary Martinella, I'll never forget her - only because of one thing that she said that stuck in my spirit. And it was a rebuke.

जब मेरा विवाह टूट गया तो मैंने अपने जीवन का पुनर्मूल्यांकन करना शुरू किया और प्रभु को पुकारना शुरू किया।
When my marriage fell apart I started reevaluating my life and I started to call on the Lord.

मैं बड़े-बड़े रोल कर रही थी और सब कुछ बहुत बढ़िया चल रहा था। उन सबके बीच, मुझे लगता है कि मैं पहले ही ऐसी बन चुकी थी जैसा यह दुनिया मुझे देखना चाहती थी। मेरी इच्छाएँ और लक्ष्य दुनिया के हिसाब से तय हो रहे थे - वे चीज़ें जो मुझे दुनिया की नज़र में (सफल) बनातीं और मुझे ऐसा रुतबा देतीं जिसे मैं सुरक्षा मानती थी।
I was doing big roles and, yeah, everything was going great. In the midst of all that, I guess I had already become common in the sense that I became formed into what the world wanted me to be. My desires and my goals were (identified) by the world - the things that would make me (successful) in the sight of the world and would give me a status that I thought was security.

मुझे 40 की उम्र में टीवी शो मिला और यह बहुत दुर्लभ बात है। इसलिए, मैं जानती हूँ कि भगवान ने मुझे 'वन लाइफ टू लिव' में वह भूमिका दी - कार्लोता की भूमिका, एक माँ की भूमिका।
I got on the TV show at 40 and that is something very rare. So, I know that God gave me that role (on) One Life to Live - the role of Carlotta, the role of a mom.

मैंने अपने करियर की शुरुआत ब्रॉडवे के एक नाटक में रीटा मोरेनो की जगह लेकर की थी।
I started my career off replacing Rita Moreno in a Broadway show.

यहाँ कई बार आपकी छवि एक जैसी बन जाती है और आपको इस इंडस्ट्री में अपनी एक अलग जगह बनानी पड़ती है। इसलिए मुझे ऐसे किरदार मिले जो या तो गुस्सैल लैटिन अमेरिकी महिला के थे या फिर इतालवी महिलाओं के। ऐसी महिलाएँ जिनमें जुनून कूट-कूट कर भरा हो, जो किसी की न सुनें और हर काम अपने ही तरीके से करें, यानी बेहद ज़िद्दी।
You get typecast. You have to find a niche in this business. So, the roles that I got cast in were the Latina or the Italian spitfires. The woman with a passion and the woman who didn't want to listen to anyone, did everything her own way, very self-willed.

जैसे-जैसे मेरी उम्र बढ़ी, 'वन लाइफ टू लिव' शो में मुझे एक माँ का किरदार मिलने लगा क्योंकि तब तक - जैसा कि मैं मानती थी - मेरा एक स्थिर वैवाहिक जीवन और एक प्यारा बेटा था, और माँ के किरदार मैं बहुत अच्छे से निभाने लगी थी। मैं तब भी एक ऐसी लैटिन अमेरिकी माँ की भूमिका में थी जो परिवार से प्यार करने वाले लोगों से गहराई से जुड़ी थी। वे सभी पारंपरिक मूल्य मेरे जीवन में वापस आ रहे थे।
As I got older, the role that I ended up (playing) on One Life to Live was a mother because, by then, I had a stable marriage - so I thought - and a beautiful son and mother roles became what I was doing well. I was still the Latina mom who very much related to people who love family. All those traditional values (were) coming back into my life.

मैं डेविड हैम और मार्को सैंटियागो को जानती थी क्योंकि टाइम्स स्क्वायर चर्च में हमने साथ मिलकर 'द क्रॉस एंड द स्विचब्लाइड' पर काम किया था। हमने चर्चों को उनके अपने समुदाय में कोई नाटक तैयार करने में मदद करने या पूरी तरह से तैयार नाटक पेश करने के लिए एक निर्देशन और निर्माण टीम के रूप में 'ट्रेस लाइफ मीडिया' की शुरुआत की - जो मसीह के अनुयायियों की आध्यात्मिक रूप से सेवा कर सके।
I had known David Ham and Marco Santiago from having met and worked with them on The Cross and the Switchblade which we worked on together at Times Square Church. We joined together as Trace Life Media to be a directing/producing team to be able to assist churches in the production of a play in their own community or to bring a fully-produced productions - something that will be ministering to the Body of Christ.
