There are a lot of mountains with a lot of water.
But in these few moments that we have here on Earth, are we going to torture ourselves? Or are we going to allow our lights to be dimmed? How do we expect men to respect women or women to rise to more power when we don't respect our queendom in the same way that men respect their kingdom?
So often, I read scripts and am like, 'This would never happen in real life. It's not trying to be funny. It's trying to be serious.
The day the process of acting becomes something that I dread is the end. Obviously, why would you do something that you hate? I won't do that.
I'm already the most fortunate girl in the world, so I have zero expectations for what the future will bring.
Everything is sacred and nothing is sacred.
You have only 30 seconds with a new person. I will give you a hug so you know I’m real, and then you’re real too.
I want to see and taste and experience it all, I am curious by nature. I would actually really love to go to New Zealand.
I fell into this business by accident. It wasn't something I ever aspired to be: an Actress . It just happened. It has evolved into an insane passion...a creative outlet. But nothing more. It's my hobby... one of the ways I express myself as an Artist . And the day it becomes a job... a career... I will quit...
The word 'feminist' is a word that discriminates, and I'm not into that. I don't think there has to be a separation in life in anything. [...] Labels are for other people to understand us, so for me, I know how I feel and I don't need to call myself a 'feminist' or 'not a feminist' because I know what my truth is...
I'm done living for other people. I'm done being a people pleaser. I'm done thinking about what people think about me.
I've been acting since I was young because I wanted to, not because my parents wanted me to. My dad is a principal and mom is a middle school counselor, so acting was like, "Eh, whatever. As long as you get good grades." It's really fun, and nothing more.
There aren't a lot of films about adolescents or quote-unquote coming-of-age films that are realistic nowadays.
I had never been to Hawaii, and now I say that my body is from L.A. but my heart is from Hawaii, because I'm in love with it and it's home on every level, from a spiritual, soulful place.
