As human beings, what makes us able to empathize with people is a connection that is not necessarily understood mentally.

Drama is my sweet spot, but the thing about being an actor is that you want to do a variety of things. I definitely love fantasy and would want to be in a fantasy project.

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 is fundamentally beautiful is compassion: for yourself and for those around you.

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

It's so much more fun to do the work than to talk about it. I will have to admit that. Everybody gets to decide how they feel, and what to take away by themselves, and that's what you hope for. That people will take away different things and have different experiences from the work we do as actors. So I don't like to prescribe how to feel about the work I do.

To this day, I love eating steak tacos before going to the red carpets.
