Having a mate has given me that feeling of safety.

That industry expects you to prove yourself over and over again. Do I stay doing this, or do I raise my daughter and live surrounded by people who love me? Wasn't even really a choice.

I was literally the black sheep of the family, and there were definitely moments of discomfort while my grandmother was working through her racism.

We use a Native American tradition of the talking stick. You sit and pass it around and whoever has the stick has to talk. Some people just hold it. Others really share.

I have a desire to create more film, more beauty, more art, more love, but I don't feel desperate. It's not about creating or building a career.

I'm part of an important movement that needs to happen.

Theres not a lot out there, and what is out there has to be really interesting to make me want to leave my life, which is really precious to me.
