Growing up without my parents by my side is a weight I still carry today.

I think despite what we've seen on TV, people like seeing women and knowing about women's stories and their struggles and their truth. I think we've seen it in a lot of these shows - when there's a cast of all women, it does very well.

When I've been asked in the past about my dream role, I always expressed how much I'd like to be a superhero.

My job as an actor is to be visible and to tell stories.

A great script might come my way, and I could be in the middle of music. So, it's a huge choice that I have to make - if I'm going to go do a movie or if I'm going to turn it down - because it could be an opportunity that could send my career through the roof, and you never know.

It's been a long career, and I've made some mistakes along the way.

Nothing is a career move. Everything I've done this year has so not been a career move.

I had spent my entire career not wanting to talk about weight, not wanting to deal with it, wanting to be an actor first.
