The things that scare you only make you better and stronger.

My faith is tested daily.

I think it's actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian.

The way to bring about change is to be proactive and active.

You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you're putting out there, if it's received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it's not received, great, I respect you for not.

I hope that in some way that I can be some sort of beacon of hope, especially because I am not the typical Hollywood beauty.

Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.
