I would go to school and be American and then come home and be Greek.

I'm not trying to prove anything.

As a woman, I feel women get the shaft all the time.

I've played so many moms, best friends, sisters and understanding people.

Performing live actually thrills me. Just get me a stage, get me a mic, and I'm going to be happy.

My mother is Greek and my father is Bulgarian. I am a first-generation American and native Los Angeleno. I was born and raised in Hollywood.

Awareness is empowering.
