The roughest thing was learning the realities of the world at such a young age. I was 10 or 11, going to church, hearing the adults standing on the podium talking about world affairs, about history, about war, and how America was founded.

The more confidence you have in yourself and the more you believe that you are destined to do what you are gonna do, it will happen.

At school, I was this tomboy kid who just loved to hang out with her friends and learn curse words, trying to fit in with the cool kids and defending all the kids who got picked on.

I don't have an agent. The only work I get is through friendships that I've already built.

I'm a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.

The way I survived growing up in Jersey City was by being funny. It wasn't by being tough. Nobody thought of me as a tough kid, except for the kids I beat up.

I've never really been about looking good - I'm just bad at that stuff.
