It's a delicate thing for me, with how involved I am in social media and being a part of people's lives in a way that they want me to.

In these times, in this harsh, rude, warring world that we live in, where most of the bloodshed is 'My god is greater than your god,' and we're fighting in the name of our god, we have to find a way to peaceably coexist, spiritually.

I've always believed that if you are precise in your thoughts, it's not the lines you say that are important - it's what exists between the lines. What I'm compelled by most is that transparency of thought, what is left unspoken.

Do I observe holy days and holidays? Yeah, the ritual is very important to me. It's part of being Ukrainian Catholic. So every holy day we're baking pierogis and not eating meat.

My father instilled in me - of utmost importance and innate in me is the yearning to determine for myself - to define God, to define holiness for myself.

There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.

The more people know about you, the more face-time you get in the media, the harder your job becomes to create a character in whom people suspend disbelief.
