Every single morning you wake up with the opportunity to be yourself, or be the idea of someone else. For me it is all about... my favourite mantra is: "You do you. I do me. They do they."

Acting is fun and I refuse to get involved in the semantics and the politics of strategy and breaking out of something or doing something because you need to do something else. For me it's all about what fuels my soul and if I'm passionate about a screenplay then that's what I'll do next.

There aren't a lot of films about adolescents or quote-unquote coming-of-age films that are realistic nowadays.

I think you have to love yourself and you have to have a strong sense of self-love in order to really show up for other people, because if you love yourself, you're not questioning your own mind any more and you are really able to be present and available for others.

Nothing really attracts me to the film industry, to be perfectly honest. I look at acting as an art, and that's all it is for me. It's just fun.

I'm already the most fortunate girl in the world, so I have zero expectations for what the future will bring.

When it comes to sexuality, sensuality, self-representation, self-nurturance - America fails in those departments.
