I think listening to people is helpful.

I am inspired by working professionals who find lots of time for family and friends. It is easy to get caught up in a career, and I personally aspire to maintain strong connections with the people who matter most to me.

For me, I've just always known that women were more than capable of being able to direct.

I'm never much of a goal-setter. Whenever I've tried to make big, solid plans, they don't happen. I'm more into whatever the circumstances are that present themselves, making wise decisions around that.

I really struggled moving from New Zealand to the United States. I still have very strong ties to my home, and it took me a couple of years to feel settled in Los Angeles. Fortunately, I have a great group of friends and found the places where I enjoy spending my time. Finding beaches to get to made me feel much more plugged into the environment here.

It is so important to remember that, while I love my job, there are other fantastic avenues to explore in my life.

The reason I feel like I act is because you get to live a million different lives in one. I don't have to go about my life.
