My father taught me how to substitute realities.

Primary and especially secondary education is extremely important in preventing trafficking, it allows children to develop critical thinking skills to be able to defend themselves from traffickers and to have the skills that will enable them to have gainful employment to be able to support their families in other ways than being sexually exploited.

I take the responsibility of choosing seriously because it becomes an indelible part of your body of work. Something has to sing to me.

I have to be able to shake my imaginary life from my real life when I walk through the door with my children who immediately need a lot from me. It's actually kind of a relief, especially if it was a dark day on set.

My major in college was Chinese Studies. It was very intentional.

There was something about being in front of audiences when I was in elementary school plays that gave me a thrill. It was like the rush you get from a roller coaster drop.

Sometimes I feel limited by people's perceptions of what I can and cannot do, or what I do or don't look like.
