You never write a speech in advance because if you don't get to use it, you'll be heartbroken.

I was always a closet lover of acting. My mom was very practical. She never, ever restricted our dreams, always told us we could do or be anything. Then I said, 'Maybe I want to be an actor.' And she said, 'Maybe not that.'

I look for roles that resonate with me these days. While I love putting out just fabulous entertainment, I think now as artists, especially with so much uncertainty going on in the world, you want to be a part of things that offer or promote healing in some way and perhaps a little introspection once you leave.

Where I'm from, you learned about God before you learned to read and write. Our faith is what grounds us.

There are moments where you stop living, if you stop changing, and if you stop seeking growth of some sort.

I want to see more women behind the scenes.

I really believe things happen as they're supposed to and in the time that they're supposed to.
