My dreams, my desires, and my goals make me smile.

My excitement about my life and my future makes me happy, because I am a dreamer, and I always dream, no matter how many obstacles are in my way.

I want to be like Solomon, and instead of asking for riches ask for wisdom and creativity.

Creativity inspires me.

That's just part of the blessing of being an actor: you get to learn so many things about life.

You could drop me off in the middle of a sea of people, and I'm happy.

I love actors, and I'm passionate about the creative process of acting and filmmaking.

I love to hear stories about people who got to places where they are today. Those kinds of things are very interesting to me.

Humanity inspires me, people inspire me, I've always been a people person, and I love people.

I've opened up my school in California in a beautiful facility on Ventura Boulevard. I'm always in heaven when I'm doing my classes.

I felt like I was literally losing myself as being the joyful, spiritual, passionate, exciting woman that I naturally had been.

I love movie directors. I don't care who it is.

It can't be Nature, for it is not sense.

I don't pull out because... it's not my problem.

Love your fellow man, and take care of each other and your environment.

Thirty-nine was the best year of my life earnings-wise. I paid off my mortgage and felt a massive sense of achievement.

Freddy Demann (Shakira's Manager) is a man that knows the world of music. And I know that I am in good hands.

It was karma, it was kismet, it was magic. It doesn't matter how it happened, just that it did.

I do not lack the courage to think a thought whole.

I've always gotten a positive reaction to doing African-American characters.

Those who realize that life is for growing and developing from each and every challenge, each day of our lives, live a life of joy!!!
