“When I’m not training for a role then I don’t really train.”

I don’t even know how to Direct Message someone on Instagram. I still write letters.

Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.

I think they’ve finally realized that women go to see movies as much as men do. Ticket sales are coming from them as well, so why not appeal to them? I think they’re finding a way.

I send thank you notes, not emails, even if I’m staying at a friend’s house or something. I’m very old school.

It does feel bizarre, having someone in your work space who’s so much younger than you.

I always dress kind of monochromatic and very simple and all that kind of stuff.

I make my friends pull up their profiles and I’m like, “Show me everything.”

Scent has become a way for me to differentiate characters.

I feel much more comfortable either up in a tree, or underwater. That’s where I feel the most zen.

Living in London, the water is really harsh, and my hair got so bad as soon as I moved there. But you can’t really avoid that.

The ’60s are my favorite decade – with the Cold War, the women’s movement. And then there’s the music, the fashion, the clothes, the hair.

I’m so weak. The stronger I get the more training I’ll be able to do.

There are those who build careers and companies just out of being popular on Instagram, but theres nothing behind them.

When you look at movies, the lead girl is always gorgeous and thin. There is a stereotype that you need to look a certain way and when you get in the business you really feel the pressure.

I remember specific times and people in my life so much more clearly if I smell something that brings me back to them.

There is something about being people from your home country in a different country. It bonds you together.

I ain’t never had a role model, watched Chief Keef growing up.

In the stage of life, no role is less majestic. Just play your role in perfection, that’s it.

We are not the roles we play.

My mother was and will always remain my greatest hero.

My biggest thing about being a role model is whatever I’m preaching, I’m practicing.

Expectations keep us in a victim role. They keep us blaming. They keep us looking outward. They keep us stuck.  

Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

I’m surprised Beyonce liked me. I met Beyonce!
