A solid sense of self will help a person to lead a full and happy life.

I can be dramatic. I can be funny. I can be sexy. I can be sad. I can be glad.

I live a very joyful life, with a lot of laughter and good times.

I like movies that resonate, that give voice to the voiceless.

I'm definitely in a place where I'm looking for different than what I've done in the past, just so I can go to work and do something I haven't done before.

I am actually very in touch with all of my emotions, from joy to pain, and I am free with them.

I love seeing my mom and my daughter embrace their natural hair. I'm glad I've embraced it, too.

Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.

I really like singing, but coming from a small town like where I grew up, how do you start that journey?

Happy, happy fashion. There is not much more to it than that.

Power rises to the top like cream and dominates the weak with cruelty disguised as -- and often even believed to be -- benevolence.

I'm always trying to work on scripts. I'm pretty selective. Sometimes maybe too much because I'm broke .

You are not alone in the world. You are part of an ensemble.

I don't read the comments anymore, unless they are moderated. Which is not to say censored, but I don't need to read someone saying, "You're ugly."

Life, never deciding to master anything in particular.
