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

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

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

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.

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

Making 'Beloved' was an awesome experience.
