In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.

I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices – it reflects on who I am.

I believe that whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you stronger.

I only do this because I’m having fun. The day I stop having fun, I’ll just walk away.

I have a lot of great distractions outside of acting.

I think the most common cause of insomnia is simple; its loneliness.

I feel like I’m wasting time if I repeat myself.

In my opinion, New York City police officers are brave.

A little fight in you. I like that.

May I ask your name, my lady? Or perhaps angels have no names, only beautiful faces.

Dancing in the light like a lotus in bloom, she opens up herself to the world.
