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.

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

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

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

I am actually very in touch with all of my emotions, from joy to pain, and I am free with them.

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.

I love seeing my mom and my daughter embrace their natural hair. I'm glad I've embraced it, too.
