no-excuses excuse sexuality
I've become really comfortable with my sexuality and making no excuses for it anymore.
dream life-changing teenager
I believe that you can experience very profound moments of change in life...I never would have become an actress if I hadn't dropped out of high school. As a teenager, I was so driven to pursue my dreams that I made a decision to quit school at 17 so I could find my voice as an actress and eventually the profession embraced me.
hair size slave
Women slave for their hair! It's all about how we compare ourselves to other women, how we size ourselves up.
girl fashion body
I'm not the girl for superhigh fashion because I don't have the right body. When I want to get dressed up.
believe journey hard-times
I've always thought what was I before I was this and then what will I be when I leave here. I really had a hard time always accepting that at some point I'm just going to turn to dust and ashes and never be again and that the journey would stop. I believe that we are souls, kind of like a version of what our movie presents, and we come here again and again until we arrive at our highest evolution, and what happens after that I don't know.

Sexuality is part of being a woman, it's part of what empowers us when we're smart enough to know how to use it.

First of all, I'm not pretty. I'm not a world class beauty, ladies and gentlemen. I'm just a guy. I was slow going and stuff like that. I was just never that brand of news.
struggle thinking problem
As a woman, when you embrace where you are in life, then I think the struggle [life] isn't so hard. If you're 42 and still think you're an ingenue, then you've got a problem.
fall journey thinking
But I just don't think it's an abyss of nothingness [after death] and that we fall off and that our journey stops. I think it's circular and we go and we go and we go. I know that there are civilizations that I think are way more sophisticated than we are and I think more sophisticated civilizations lived before us.
secret nobody-knows knows
After all, everybody has secrets and there are some things that nobody knows about you but only you, right?
children self-esteem raised
Self-esteem comes from who you have in your life. How you were raised. What you struggled with as a child.
tiny contribution humans
I know I'm only one human being and I'm only making one tiny contribution and it's nothing more than that.
