I enjoy going back to work now because cinema is going through an exciting period because young people are now going back to the movie theaters. But things are different though.

Since my mom is the President of Ballet Hawaii, I'm always in touch with stuff going on.

Acting is actually private.

I love any opportunity to be able to dance. It's in my blood. I mean, I need to do it as an artist. I need to always do it.

I would say it's like a meditative process, to have everything done for you every morning.

I grew up in Honolulu. It's not the ballet cultural mecca by any stretch of the imagination. People are much more familiar with hula than they are with ballet.

As an actress I find the most enjoyable part of acting is really just to please the director. I just want to please my director.
