I'd like to be able to use Storm's powers for good, like have it rain more in Southern California. We could do with it.

Being a mother is probably the most important thing in my life right now.

I know that there is a God - the God within me that's always present and will protect me. I'm not afraid to climb any mountain, because I know that I'm protected. Even if I fall and die, I'm still protected. My faith is on that level.

I'm not afraid of portraying anything on-screen

My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me. Bloodlines didn't matter as much as how I would be perceived.

It gave me strength and toughness because I had to face reality, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was.

I have to live for me. I have to do what I need to do for me, and I have stopped concerning myself with what people say.
