Where I come from, there were traditions with my race and whenever you faced a curve in life, there was always a tradition.

I think people should look at learning about Native American history the same as visiting Washington, D.C., and seeing the monuments there. It's all part of the package.

I like working with different directors; it keeps you on your toes.

There was a point - when I was a kid - where I said I wanted to be like Luke Skywalker, with blond hair and blue eyes. My mom right there told me to never be ashamed of who I am.

On the film sets of 'New Moon' and 'Eclipse,' I feel safe. It's like you're in the center of the hurricane, but outside is where it starts to get chaotic.

I have my own production company called Urban Dreams.

It's really surprising that what you put on paper, people will believe.
