I try to define myself through my own choices rather than just accepting society's kind of you're that, you're that, let me put you in a box kind of thing.

Don't worry about society's conditioning and the labels that are put on you by external forces. Hold onto your true self.

I try to put myself into whatever character I play.

I like being free to take on any project that inspires me and to trust that the work will speak for itself.

I'm just broadening my craft and stretching my skills a little bit in different directions.

It is important to be conscious of the message that you're putting out there. It takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get a movie to the screen. I do feel a certain element of responsibility to say something worth saying with it, as well as entertainment.

At home I wear my own clothes, no makeup and don't do anything exciting with my hair. I get to borrow pretty dresses for the red carpet, and have experts do my hair and makeup.
