I remember working on a show, and feeling so insecure about whether I looked attractive enough to do a love scene. It was weird because I couldn't understand why I wasn't feeling beautiful, even though I knew I was.

I've opened up my school in California in a beautiful facility on Ventura Boulevard. I'm always in heaven when I'm doing my classes.

My excitement about my life and my future makes me happy, because I am a dreamer, and I always dream, no matter how many obstacles are in my way.

My dreams, my desires, and my goals make me smile.

You could drop me off in the middle of a sea of people, and I'm happy.

Once you have the light of God within you, you see things within yourself that you did not know existed. Things that were hidden in darkness are now in light. I see myself as able to forgive... to love... I even see talents in myself that I didn't see before.

I felt like I was literally losing myself as being the joyful, spiritual, passionate, exciting woman that I naturally had been.
