My rule is simply "love what you do". That certainly has brought me to the place I where am at right now. It really has been with the work.

It feels amazing to work with writers that write really well.

As human beings, when we're young, we're not jaded. As we grow older, we begin to take on ideas of our parents, family of origins and that changes us. We become less fluid sometimes. So for me, I look for roles that are uplifting in many ways - no matter what the race or color of the role is. I want to go beyond that and try to share what I think my gift is and that is we all have this gift of choice. We just don't sometimes realize we have that choice.

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 have this vision that I'm really watching each one of my daughters start to become women, and mothers. And this is what's gonna save our planet.

I just want to serve up the goodness and grace that's been given to me because I made a choice that lined up with my passion. And that's what I tell my kids.

There is a price to pay for most of our actions. For every action, there is a reaction.
