I've always just adored music. It's my first love, really. I admire and respect people in the music business. You really have to work hard and diligently. Sometimes actors can be lazy and get away with it, but you can't do that if you're a musician.

Whether you're on TV or on the stage, you have to work hard to stay fresh, real, and full of energy. You can't settle back. You always have to stay on your toes.

We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.

It was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.

Maybe subconsciously I've kept activism separate from acting because it's important to me in a more profound way.

You live long enough, you lose enough people, you learn to appreciate the memories you have and stop begrudging the ones you never got to make.

I try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.
