"I know as actors our job is usually to shed our skins, but I think as people our job is to become who we really are and so I would like to salute the men and women who brave ostracism, alienation and a life lived on the margins to become who they really are."

BILL: We met in the theater, we both grew up in the theater, we both adore the theater, and we love acting. So, it’s what we share and we do talk about it. She’s such a magnificent woman, she wants nothing but the best for me.
FELICITY: We were part of a theater company that started around 1985. We started doing plays together and we’ve been acting together ever since. In television, in film, in plays. It’s wonderful. It’s a great collaboration. I’m a lucky girl to be with Bill Macy.
INTERVIEWER: Has anybody ever, in one’s career management, said “You know what? You’re a really talented actress and when you talk about [being a pro-choice advocate], that doesn’t serve your acting.”
FELICITY: Yes, this a hot button issue and I’ve had friends, celebrities, actors come up and say, “I am pro-choice, I do support it, but I can’t be seen being a part of it because it’s too scary.” And I have to say it’s because the opposition to it is very vocal and there’s a fringe element that is violent. I went to an event 6 months ago and a woman’s husband, who offered help to women who wanted to end a pregnancy, was shot in a church. So it’s scary and I guess it could be detrimental to your career but I love this country and I love that we can choose differently and I want to stand up and say, “It’s okay.” [x]
