“The older I get, the more I embrace my own idiosyncrasies.”

“I think the key to happiness is allowing ourselves to not feel bad or guilty for feeling it, and letting it be contagious. And to not be dependent on other people to create your own happiness.”

“My singing voice isn't like my speaking voice.”

“I've never formally trained in acting, so I'm very instinctual and visceral with decisions.”

“I always wanted to be a young mom, but generations of women have worked so hard so we can have a career and wait to have children. So I say carpe diem - take advantage of that.”

“I do sarcasm really poorly.”

“Yeah, I'm a giver. I've learned to be selective of the people in my world, because if I love someone, I will give them my blood, whatever they need. In doing so, one can end up with little left for themselves.”

“Life presents you with so many decisions. A lot of times, they're right in front of your face and they're really difficult, but we must make them.”

“I'm an actor. I love to create.”

“I can't believe that people actually know my first and last name. I think it's really, really, gosh-darn neat.”

“Home is where my mom is.”

“After a breakup, it takes a couple weeks for the fog to settle, but it's always a period of self-priority and growth. Life presents you with so many decisions. A lot of times, they're right in front of your face and they're really difficult, but we must make them.”

“I'd do almost anything for love, within safe boundaries. I've flown to places to surprise people, even if it was just for a day. I think it's so important to keep the romance alive and make sure the fun and spontaneity are there.”

“I find this life so interesting.”

“I take work very seriously and telling the truth in my job and professionalism.”

“I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. You can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for.”

“My dreams and aspirations when I was a child for as long as I can remember was to be an entertainer.”

“My dream as a producer is to be able to build a company that can be a safe haven for artists, for directors and for writers and actors to do what they do best and let them have final edit. I'd like to build something to that effect.”
