As a teenager, my struggle was how do I balance being empathetic and compassionate towards my peers, while also living my life for myself and not basing my decisions on those around me, and really living a life where I receive my happiness from my own experiences rather than from people pleasing.

When it comes down to it, I'm just a girl who wears those five-finger weird toe shoes.

I think the most important thing in life is self-love, because if you don't have self-love, and respect for everything about your own body, your own soul, your own capsule, then how can you have an authentic relationship with anyone else?

I live my life with a lot of integrity based on what I want for my life and who I am.

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

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

I'd always wanted to do a film than TV show because film is always where my heart has been. I like diving into the character for a few months, and then leaving it behind. I love the idea of that.
