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.

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

Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.

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.

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

I don't want kids to be distracted by pipe dreams.

I'm very free with all my emotions, whether it's happy, sad, mad, glad, whatever.
