Throughout high school, I was obsessed with magazines. I used to just comb through them and plaster things on my wall.

And it [acting] was exciting to me. And scary.

I like to choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear.

When you feel happy, you look beautiful.

Here is my wish and my desire and my pledge as well: that we remember our true nature and our womanhood. That we own and know that we are more than our bodies and yet our bodies are these sacred, beautiful, rhythmic houses for us.

I've always been a curious thinker. And now, as an adult, I can articulate it.

Self-care of all kinds is a huge part of my life. I really encourage other women and other people to really put self-care - and that includes the beauty regime, how you eat, all of that - into your body.
