I'm an actress, primarily. I love to write poetry. I've been writing poetry since I was 12 years old.

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.

I felt it's vague enough for the reader to pull their own story and their wisdom out of the poem, but for me, it's actually very painfully transparent what I've written. Sometimes very literal, which is scary.

I always have to do more to contribute to society.

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

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.
