I don't have to be glamorous all the time.

Thankfully, I was given a strong base by my parents, an understanding of who I was and my strength.

I believe in getting a good education to be able to go out into the world and make a difference.

I grew up an athlete. Track and field and dance. In track, I actually went to the Junior Olympics. I've always been very athletic.

'Beloved.' That's an amazing film and I'm sorry more people didn't see it when it came out.

A solid sense of self will help a person to lead a full and happy life.

I like movies that resonate, that give voice to the voiceless.
