I was a single mom at 20. A lot of choices came out of that. I've seen a lot of my friends be in relationships they didn't want to be in because they couldn't leave.

The way your parents try to talk to you about politics and pull you to their side, that's an exciting moment in your family.

As a teenager, you have so much energy and hormones and you feel powerless in your life.

If you emote in your performances, people feel connected to you as an emotional person, because that's how we communicate. That doesn't mean people know you. At a certain point, I think you have to just be your own self.

I'm excited about the state of women's spiritual life and interior life and who women are. I wish the political establishment would catch up, because we still don't have equal rights in America.

There's no doubt that there's a struggling in birth, and a beauty and a horror and fear and joy too.
