I truly believe that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us and create the life we want to live. I have seen it happen time and time again.

I've seen productions where it feels like the actors are just tired and want to go home. That is one of the challenges doing theater - especially a long production - how to keep it alive for yourself and the audience.

I was a daydreamer, and there is a lot of history and geography and science I missed out on because I was in my head. And I regret that.

I’m trying to accept where I’m at, not run from it.

After I did nine years of a television series, I didn't want to do anything really that involved going to a set and being in front of a camera for quite a while. And when I did start to want to do things, I wanted to focus more on film.

I truly beleive that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us.

Education is key. We have to keep girls in school and give them the same opportunities that boys have. They need access to vocational training and mentorship, as well. It's an issue of gender equality, which is fortunately a hot topic right now, but we need to keep at it and not rest on our laurels.
