I give it up to women who have the power to keep their spirit alive under very difficult circumstances.

I'm a little bit antisocial and I recently discovered that I'm introverted. But the love between people makes me alive.

Artists and celebrities are citizens, and as such you have a responsibility to keep fighting for justice because there are monolithic power structures and systemic oppression out there.

Research your idea. See if there's a demand. A lot of people have great ideas, but they don't know if there's a need for it. You also have to research your competition.

I wouldnt be where I am today without the amazing public arts education that I had.

Sometimes my worst day - one filled with pain and suffering - in the eyes of God, is my best day if I've born it cheerfully and I've born it with love.
