I am kind of prudish and I have very strict standards about how I present myself. But one of the things that I've always stood by is that women are beautiful and sexy. We shouldn't be afraid of that. [But] we need to make sure that we present that beauty and that sexiness in a way that says we are in control of our bodies. We're strong, we're classy, we're beautiful, powerful beings to be reckoned with, not victims.

It's not your circumstances that make or break your day. It's your attitude!

I am who I am and I am what I am. And it's beautiful. And it's okay even if it doesn't look like the sexiest Victoria Secret model. It also boils down to my interactions with people.

Writing is my number one passion. I've written two novels. I've written a screenplay. I also write short stories and poetry.

You can't have a movie with a group of people that are significant players in the story, that push forward the plot, without introducing at least one or two of them.

I felt like I was a good woman, a good person. But I was sinking deeper and deeper into depression, because my soul wasn't living. I was purposely holding down my soul and my spirit. It was dying inside of me.

I adore having people over to my home. My number one reason I love that is because I love to see people at ease with each other.
