I want to live for my truth, my reality, what is important to me and what I’m passionate about. I love acting, and I love being able to tell a story, but working with another human being who is struggling with the same thing that I’ve struggled with, and guiding them towards hope and redemption - it’s you know it’s a triumph, it’s a story of the triumph of the human spirit.

The weight is off my shoulders. I don't live in the past anymore. I look forward, instead of back.

You never know what someone is dealing with behind closed doors. You only know what you see or what you think you see.

There are hundreds of thousands of kids walking around with a sleeping monster inside them.

I've always turned my anger inwards towards self-destruction.

By the time I turned 18, I moved into a little chalet of my own and felt very grown-up.

I became fascinated with the concept of speak no, see no, hear no evil. And - and the actual depiction of three wise monkeys. And I began collecting it over the years. And I kind of figured that I might be the - the fourth monkey, the feel no evil monkey.
