Women have been interesting forever.

It's hard to find female leads that are flawed and interesting and dynamic.

People are very nice to me, and they've been nice as my career has gotten better and I've gotten more jobs. But the reality is that if I decided tomorrow that I didn't want to act anymore, it's not like people are going to be like, 'Please, come back!'

In elementary and high school, I never considered acting as a profession.

To me, art begets art. Painting feeds the eye just as poetry feeds the ear, which is to say that both feed the soul.

When one paints an ideal, one does not need to limit one's imagination.

People that have known me for a while tell me how they see me grown as an artist and as a writer. I think that this comes with continuing writing each day. I try to write as often as I can and explore more while I do it. I feel more comfortable with opening up and telling more of my story to everyone.

The fact is that creativity is everywhere. It's just about the way that you look at things.
