One of the great things about my job is I get to do all of these things that I may not experience had I not been an actor.

I think about how I'm spending my money, and I like to spend on my family.

My male counterpart will get paid ten times more than me - 10 times. Not double, but 10 times for the same job. We only have this much left for the female actress. I mean, there’s two genders on this Earth. Both are compelling, interesting, diverse, wonderful in all their own separate ways. And yet there’s an influx of male roles and there's just not for women.

I pretty much have made a career out of playing real life people.

I really enjoy playing with someone else and whether it's chess or tennis or games, I love card games. I love that, but I think there's something so important to gain from winning and losing and learning how to lose and how you can be better from that.

Growing up in a lower-income family, you don't have the resources to make ends meet and you have to find creative ways to get by.

I'm a risk-taker. It's where my passion lies, so I don't want to play it safe. That means I'm going to fail sometimes.
