I'm definitely in a place where I'm looking for different than what I've done in the past, just so I can go to work and do something I haven't done before.

I think it's always nice to have a film where the underdog comes out on top, doing their best, and surpasses everybody's expectations.

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

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

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

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.
