Music is what our feelings sound like.
I'm part wood nymph. I require mountains and warm, dense patches of moss to thrive.
In these times, in this harsh, rude, warring world that we live in, where most of the bloodshed is 'My god is greater than your god,' and we're fighting in the name of our god, we have to find a way to peaceably coexist, spiritually.

I think maybe I was a shepherdess in a past life.
I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.
Sometimes I attract roles that are necessary either for personal growth or enlightenment.

I, for one, am tired of seeing movies about men damaging each other.
I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion; it's too cheap and easy to do, and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system.
There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.
I am drawn to intimate, often uncomfortable portraits of a woman persevering and awakening.
Do I pray? Yes. Prayer is very important to me.
Normally, I rely heavily on my director to massage me out of my actor comfort zones.
I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.
You don't have to be gay to be attracted to your friend.
