I enjoy classics, but classics are classics for a reason.

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

From the age of four, I loved ballet and tap. I was in the school band, the choir, and all my school plays.

There is the old boys' club, but there are ­people who are "conviction lobbyists" coming from the heart.

I'm interested in playing lots of different complex women.

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.
