Strength and independence are always something that I'm drawn to in all my characters, no matter how different they are from one another.

I have always been very rebellious and gone against the grain. I've always challenged the standards set before me.

It requires bravery to do something no one else around you is doing.

Many states have laws against cousin marriage, which I think are ridiculous - people should be allowed to make that choice.

I am a proud member of the LGBT community and could never bear the idea that someone could say I was closeted.

All I've ever needed is myself.

I'm no mechanic but I can change my oil and I know what to do when I get a flat tire and I can hot-wire it in an emergency.
