“My ability to adapt has always stood out. I’ve been immersed in many worlds and have had the influence of many things in my upbringing so I’m familiar with so many styles of living, so many characters, so many life paths and its just easy to simulate for me.”

Life would continue to exist and grow. Cause and effect still exist even where there is no time.

If you’re not broadcasting what people feel is their truth as it relates to you, well that becomes a problem.

All of my friends are independent in thought, that’s important.

People automatically assume and expect that every moment and every bit of personal data should be broadcasted on social media, especially as it relates to them – and thats just not cuttin’ it for me.

I was pretty much predominantly raised by women, as they make up most of my family anyway.

I think friends are an extension of you and I always say, check out a persons five immediate friends and you’ll know everything about them.

I was drawn into acting due to the fact that I could express myself better.

Most people have no idea what Cabo Verde is or even where it is to mention, so I definitely want to make people aware of this beautiful culture.

However, I was very conscious of the fact that both sides of my family were drastically different and my aunts, cousins, and uncles varied in different shades of brown.

My hero among heroes is my grandmother, she’s the epitome of strength and I try to mock that strength all the time. She’s a beast.

You just have to be careful because social media can begin to affect personal things such as relationships, just to pin point. People have become so entitled as it relates to social media.

I love to love. However, you won’t see anybody walking the red carpet with me until I’m married.

Your life and everything about your world should be represented on your social media accounts, and everybody feels that way from family to friends to boyfriends and girlfriends.

I surround myself with strong willed, courageous personalities, because I’ve got to be coached by the best.

I do everything I can on a daily basis just so I can have something to give back to the world.

I’ve had people question my “integrity” based off of something I didn’t post on social media, the list goes on. It’s mind boggling.

He felt warm and familiar. He felt solid and safe. I wanted to cling to his shirt, bury my face into the warm curve of his neck, and never let go.

We are all familiar with the argument: Make war dreadful enough, and there will be no war. And we none of us believe it.

I’m lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I’ll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself.

The Forsytes were resentful of something, not individually, but as a family; this resentment expressed itself in an added perfection of raiment, an exuberance of family cordiality, an exaggeration of family importance, and the sniff.

We kiss again and this time, it feels familiar.

From morning till night, sounds drift from the kitchen, most of them familiar and comforting. . . . On days when warmth is the most important need of the human heart, the kitchen is the place you can find it; it dries the wet sock, it cools the hot little brain.

We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange.

People want to know about the details of politicians, what they like doing in their spare time, about their families. I think that’s human.
