I have a very ostrich mentality. I feel like I have my head in the sand so no one can see me.

You fail, and then what? Life goes on. It's only when you risk failure that you discover things.

And my one prayer to God, the miracle worker, was that I would wake up lighter-skinned.

I have always loved children. I've been fantasizing about motherhood since I was probably 2 ½. I loved to babysit my cousins, and nieces, you know.

As human beings, it is our nature to dream about the future, but there is no future without a healthy nature. It's the common denominator that we all depend on, not just to live but to be happy. That's why we owe it to each other to make sure nature stays healthy.

What I've learned from myself is that I don't have to be anybody else. Myself is good enough.

I'm interested in generating work for myself. I have trouble with this waiting-for-the-phone-to-ring lifestyle, especially after drama school, which was so creatively fulfilling.
