I'm taking my time with the acting and learning as I go.

When I moved back home, I took the initiative to involve my entire family in my career because I didn't find that anyone else was as passionate and thorough.

I know I'm different. Even when I think about an acting career, there are so many limited roles to begin with. I have the ability to be Spanish, Indian, Italian, black, Persian. What roles do I see that compliment that?

I grew up dancing. When I was three years old, my mom would always watch Latin ballroom dancing competitions on PBS.

One of the features of a democracy is the disentanglement of the sacred from the secular because in religiously pluralistic countries, no one can legitimately claim special status by faith membership.

When faith is lost, when honor dies, the man is dead.

Thank God for the journey.

I derive a lot of the values that I try to bring into the public sphere from my private faith.
