I'm happy when people come up and say how they feel about what your character went through, you know, I went through and it's helping me deal with it. I get to see the movie through the audience's eyes and that's really gratifying.

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

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

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

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.

I live a very joyful life, with a lot of laughter and good times.

We need happy, productive citizens on our planet for us to survive.
