Every day we choose who we are by how we define ourselves.

I think doing anything having to do with war, you walk away so very grateful for everything you have and the safety that you have.

I didn't die young. So I am very lucky. There are other artists and people that didn't survive certain things... people can imagine that I did the most dangerous, and I did the worst... for many reasons, I shouldn't be here.

Everyone can help. We can educate ourselves and our children about other countries and cultures. We have a responsibility to be aware of others and I believe this will inspire the individual way each person can make their difference.

Make bold choices and make mistakes. It's all those things that add up to the person you become.

I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess.

I try not to think about my public life. I focus on my private life, and that's just the best way to live.
