I'm An Actor. That's What I'm Gifted

I Believe It Is My Duty As A Performer To Raise Issues In The World Of Things We're Afraid To Look At.

I Was Physically Abused And I Retaliated.

I Have Worked Very Hard On Being Aware Of My Childhood But Moving Forward And Not Letting It Bring Me Down Emotionally. That Is A Hard Thing - Especially When You Have Children Of Your Own And You Remember What Happened To You At That Age.

I Think Once You're A Mother To One, You're A Mother To Them All.

I Had Literally The Time Of My Life, And Thought, "wow. Television Doesn't Seem To Be As Crazy As It Was When I Was A Kid." The Dream For Me Was Always To Be In The Movies, You Know. But When This Came Along, I Read The First Script And I Thought, "oh, My Gosh. This Is Incredible."
