I had to work from a young age.

If I can look at each character that I am given and create them in a different way from the last role, I'm happy.

I have a lot of very, very powerful women in my life. My mother being the first.

I never like to refer back to anything I've done when I'm working on a character, even if that character has the same occupation.

I feel that our stories are cross culturally irrelevant, and I'm a member if a larger community of people who have no boundaries in terms of color or in terms of how I look at other people and their stories.

What helps me is yogic breathing, dropping my spiritual level where I am really, really clear that I am playing a character.

Yoga has allowed me to bring my complete spirit together, which allows me to do less, which is more.
