• There are both high highs & low lows in acting career, I love them both.
• Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
• All of the cultural clashes and wars over religion and racism, none of that will matter if our planet doesn't survive.
• Everyone needs some instant gratification, but obviously, you can’t live your life like that. Everything in moderation.
• I have stopped comparing myself to friends, family, co-workers and just focus on my own journey, to forgive myself.
• It's easy in the age of social media to compare yourself to your idols and feel yourself not measuring up.
• When I don't know what to do, I pretend that I'm holding an invisible umbrella
• I really don't understand the Grammys. It's like if the Oscars nominated Transformers 5 for best picture.
• I want real parts, real women, real characters.. I don’t care if it’s a man or a woman. As long as the character’s interesting, charismatic, and dynamic. I don’t want to be the secretary [3]

• Pitbulls are so inherently good [9]
• There is never an excuse to support breeding dogs for profit when innocent healthy amazing dogs are being euthanized in our shelters daily. Where we get our dogs from matters and to pretend otherwise is to ignore reality.[10]
