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."

This earth is exciting. There are so many things happening.

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.

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

Every single character in the world, every creature in the world has something to give and something to learn.

It's hard to talk about politics in a Hollywood world.

So many times, you get a script and it says, "And then, the character cries," and you read the lines and think, "That would never make me cry. Those lines are so untruthful." My approach is just to be honest to the situation.
