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

I have a lot of compassion for human beings in life experiences, so I allow myself to feel what these characters are feeling and don't have a problem accepting that.

Making 'Beloved' was an awesome experience.

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

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

I watched Westerns from the time I was a girl. My dad was a big Western fan. I always loved Clint Eastwood movies and Westworld, where the guy gets trapped in a western-themed amusement park. The western motif was fascinating to me.

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