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

I don't ever want to be the type of person to tell you what to think or what to believe. Whatever stage in your life that you are in, I want you to organically reach whatever conclusions that you possibly reach.

I choose projects that resonate with me on some personal level and projects that I'm afraid to do. If I'm afraid to do them, then I usually say yes, because it means that I'm not ready to go there and deal with certain aspects of the script.

The fact that women are very young in obtaining their civil rights and African-Americans are young in obtaining their civil rights, I think it's about time that we extend that to all Americans, whether straight, gay, purple, green, black, brown.

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

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

I have experienced loss in my life, but the thing that brings you back is your faith.
