I think the hardest obstacle I've ever had to overcome in my life is the illness and passing of my mother to cancer.

I have a deeper compassion for those living with cancer, as well as their family members. And now when someone tells me that a loved one passed away, I feel it deeply, as though it were my own relative.

I just love seeing people embrace freedom, faith, and courage in the face of enormous odds.

I think when you embrace celibacy other elements of the relationship have to come forth. There isn't an opportunity for you to be blinded by your sexual desires there is an opportunity to see things more clearly.

Honestly, I am pretty passionate about avoiding failure!

There's a point where you have to take charge of yourself and what you allow in your space.

I grew up as an only child, and my mother was a single mom. It's always been "us." If it weren't for her nurturing and guiding my artistic talents at a young age, I don't think I'd be a professional actress and performer today.
