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.

I feel in poetry there aren't that many rules that you need to absolutely live by depending on your style of poetry.

Although I was calm as a child, I had this restlessness about me–this need and hunger to create my own world. Poetry filled that void, and its words fed that vital necessity of ownership.

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.

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'm actually very spiritual.

As poets, our lamentations are glorious, filled with the virtues angles would learn to envy.
