character easy
I'm very attracted to characters who don't necessarily make it easy to be loved.
thinking getting-older sexuality
I think that women find their strength and power in their sexuality, in their sensuality within, [through] getting older and being secure within that.
children priorities balance
I've always been very aware of balance and, even before I had a child, my life always takes priority to my work.
mom who-i-am skills
My mom has made it possible for me to be who I am. Our family is everything. Her greatest skill was encouraging me to find my own person and own independence.
awareness
I really love having an awareness.
mom mother son
I can only hope to be 10 percent of the mom mine was to me. She encouraged me to be confident and enjoy life. That's what I want for my son.
aids
I want to be part of the generation that stops AIDS.
lines likes actresses
I've never been the kind of actress that just likes to show up and say my lines. I'm fascinated by what the crew does.
world
I don't want to live in a world with blinders on.
thinking people empathy
I'm not a fan of justifying bad behavior or justifying why people are the way they are. I think that's a cop out. I don't have a lot of empathy for that.
culture accents lost
I havent lost my culture, just my accent.
hunger feels stills
Yet there's a hunger in me still. I'm like only beginning. I feel like I still have so much to learn.
mom growing-up mistake
I want my son to grow up with a mom that he could see and look at her life with all the mistakes and with all the failures and all the flaws and say, "My mom lived an authentic life. That was the life she wanted to live."
want shut-up you-choose
You choose the life you want for yourself, and then you just shut up and go about it. That's how I've lived my life.
