To be a character actor is to be open, to be a chameleon.

For me, I've lived a life as an athlete.

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.

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

I had to work from a young age.

I'm naturally a graceful human being. So meditation helps me stay grounded. When we're silent for a moment, it helps us to hear the hum of the universe. Hear the message or what the universe is trying to tell you. It's your inner voice and instinct. If you're hearing that, then you're in the flow of things. It takes years to try and trust that.

For me, what I try to heal is the major thing that I think all of us go through, where we came from. From our family of origin.
