“One of my earliest memories is of my father carrying me in one arm with a picket sign in the other.”

“It never occurred to me that I'd be on a television show or in feature films but when those came into play my dreams changed along the way.”

“For a long time, I really struggled with the idea of being an actor because I really felt that I should be in the Peace Corps.”

“Instead of hating, I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world.”

“When I meet large women who walk with confidence and are articulate and really have an understanding of how they walk in this world, I love them so deeply for being able to overcome such unbelievable odds.”
