I think most human beings, even if you're in a situation that's constricting or complicated or hard, they try to survive.

What I think is new is the wealth of roles for actual women in television and in film. That's what I think is revolutionary and evolutionary.

Having an education is invaluable.

I want roles that challenge people to question where they are in life.

Honestly, I'm always aware of the political implications of the movies that I make.

I have a couple of girlfriends who are like healing. We take care of each other. They know when I need to be taken care of.

I find myself more and more interested only in roles which move the world forward.

Being a mother has absolutely forced me. You have to write things down and have systems for all of it. And then you set up systems and you realize they don't work.

If you are different you will berejected. . .If you are same you will be accepted. . .so which one do you wanna be ?

We only get what we believe that we deserve. Raise the bar, raise your standards and you will receive a better outcome.

Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

I guess I'm destined to be loveless

I still do a lot of drawing on a daily basis.

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do.
