People in real life cuss God out when they're angry. That's all real.

I tried not to make God this big deal in Joan's life. She treats God like a friend: she's nice to him some days, and other days mean, and then cries when she needs help.

And a lot of times in slam poetry I feel like people are so worried about the performance that the words might not be as strong.

I haven't had a lot of celebrities around me growing up.

I don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry

I think I relate to all the characters in one way or another. I'm a chameleon like that

Honestly, I am not trying to discourage anyone from becoming an actress, but if you want to become one be prepared to face everything that comes - along with it
