I didn't truly understand the depth of my roots until I was old enough to wonder and care.

I think I unknowingly seek people who are better than me in the sense of strength and wisdom. It's like I've got to know and trust that you have the answers and that you can carry me if needed.

Social media is driving the culture, it drives peoples minds literally.

Money is important yes, but not the most important. I don't need money to smile or breathe. I would still be breathing if all my money disappeared tomorrow.

I know when to go and when to stop. I'm the red, the yellow, and the green light. That's me in a nutshell.

The telling of a good story, especially one that is real and true, is always exciting.

I was drawn into acting due to the fact that I could express myself better. I could use my voice - my entire body - not just my looks, height, and physical expressions.

When the passion isn't there, the drive isn't there and it just doesn't last for me.

I've always been an actress, entertaining my family was the start. I'm a goof ball among many of my cousins and siblings.

Life would continue to exist and grow. Cause and effect still exist even where there is no time.

You're living in a matrix that's driven by social media. It's become glorified. You're suppose to be what you portray on social media, thats the perception.

Nothing can affect my voice, it's so bad.

When you go to a concert, part of being there is that you're all hearing the same thing. It's about being in a crowd. If you go to a gig and there are two people there, then it's not the same thing.

As an actor, I don't feel like it's necessary to watch a great deal of films. In fact, I think it can lead to imitation and unhealthy competition, which just isn't needed.

I was hungry. I was cold. But I was also free. Free not to get up in the morning, not to go to bed at night, free to get drunk if I liked, to dream... to hope.

The emotions that sustain religious belief are all, in fact, deeply ordinary and deeply recognisable to anybody who has ever made their way across the common ground of human experience as an adult.

Men who have not known the horror of death are not likely to be awed by it.

Junk food companies are acting very much like tobacco companies did 30 years ago.

The soul is the effect and instrument of a political anatomy; the soul is the prison of the body

Tell me what you are doing with your suffering, and I will tell you who you are.

You have to love what you do to the point that you can't imagine doing anything else with your life.
