My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy, very reserved kind of child. But obviously, something changed! Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I was watching TV at age 9 or 10, and my mom said that I came from the front room and I told her that I want to act. And she said if you want to do this at 18, then you can. It was a very simple story, yet, I do not even remember the conversation that I had with my mother. Until she reminded me of the story many years later. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I've always wanted to be an actress, ever since I was a little girl. I always played the mom and I played my sister as the daughter. I wanted to be an actress on television and movies instead of just around the house. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I didn't really know what I wanted to do, and then I got this call from a casting director in Los Angeles. She remembered me from something years before, and she called my mom wanting me to audition for this thing. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
My mom would be leaving the house and she'd say, 'Don't you pull out all of the old dresses in the attic and put on a show again!' And the door would close, and that's exactly what I'd do. The show was calling me! Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I do believe that there are African Americans who have thick accents. My mom has a thick accent my relatives have thick accents. But sometimes you have to adjust when you go into the world of film, TV, theatre, in order to make it accessible to people. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
My mom once lost track of me at the zoo and when she found me I was lecturing a man about the difference between dromedary and Bactrian camels. I was about 3 1/2. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I was 3 when I told my mom that I knew what my dharma was and that I wanted to be an actor. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
For a kid who's lost his mom and all the rage and grief that no one was able to talk out of me, football was a very therapeutic sport. Very. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
But the fact is, I'm not work-identified. I'm not a lawyer or a writer. I'm a mom, and I'm a woman, and that's the kind of people I want to see in books in the starring role. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
My father left... but I tell my mom - and I told my mom this when I was a kid - I said, 'You know what, Mom? Good thing he left because you're a strong woman.' Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
