I didn't even know what acting was at 11 years old. I truly believed that acting was hidden cameras everywhere. And I felt that these actors on the screen were somehow real people.

I just don't know how to stitch words in a predictable way sometimes. It's a weird instinct I've developed.

We have such a finite amount of hours on this planet, and there is just no excuse for living a mundane, predictable life in life.

As a poet and as an actress, we're taught to be far more elaborate with our words and - I wouldn't say generalize, but definitely stronger with our choices.

I always feel vulnerable talking about the poetry aspect of my career because it's little diary entries that I need to sometimes close read, and to reveal that much, it's a bit nerve-racking.

I feel my poetry has contributed through all these languages that I needed to learn leading up to English.

I've been to Asia, but I'd love to go to Thailand. I'd love to go to some rural areas in China.
