When pursued with a pure heart, acting is an entirely selfless profession.

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.

Being as restless as I am by nature, I couldn't simply just be on set, wait for my turn to rehearse for the week. And I kept reading, but it wasn't enough for me.

In the end we're all searching for our home, that one place where we belong.

Every one of us strives to be a better person; and if I am to contribute one thing of myself, it would be compassion.

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.

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.
