I would much rather sit, dimmed by inattention, and study the atmosphere and the silence and dance between people, but often times I’m not offered this privilege. The necessity for isolation, and the striving for popularity is the only contradiction I find in being a writer and an actress.

I love making pizza with cauliflower dough. Again, can't taste the difference once you add enough ingredients.

For me especially, I always need that literature medium.

My experiences there truly defined who I am to this day as far as my humanitarian work because I was a refugee in Albania.

I've written and translated my own poems from English to German. It's basically a summation of my identity as it stands now.

I'm not religious, and I feel that has to do with me being uprooted so many times in my life that I've explored many religions and sentiments from many different families basically across the globe.

Sometimes I feel too transparent in my poetry, but that's what I think the beauty of poetry is, because as transparent as the author can be, it's usually only a reflection of what the reader can interpret, and based on their own personal experiences.
