I always love to learn new things. That's the reason I like being an actor.

Every time I overcome an obstacle, it feels like success. Sometimes the biggest ones are in our head - the saboteurs that tell us we can't.

I love color. I'm enjoying trying all different shades. Makeup isn't something I've worn a lot of in my life.

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.

There is no shame in black beauty.

I come from a loving, supportive family, and my mother taught me that there are more valuable ways to achieve beauty than just through your external features. She was focused on compassion and respect, and those are the things that ended up translating to me as beauty.

As actors, you become an expert at starting over.
