“Yes, Portland is governable. Yes, it's challenging.” — Ted Wheeler Quote

“Yes, Portland is governable. Yes, it's challenging.”

“We have an obligation at the local level to do everything we can with the resources we have. And we do those things. But we're never going to solve homelessness - not here in Portland, not here in any major city in America - if we keep assuming that it is purely a local issue.”

“Why are these things happening in Portland? In part, it's because we are a progressive community. Groups like Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys... they come from the outside. They come here because they know that their message is not necessarily welcomed here. They're trying to provoke a reaction.”

“I decided that I want to live in a big world. And since then, any time I'm confronted with a challenging situation, I go for it.”

“Regardless of where the offer comes from, I'll choose characters that are inspiring and challenging.”

“I did this role in Life Goes On as an HIV positive character and so emotionally that was the most challenging.”
