I typically enjoy a beautiful beach destination, as I find the water and sand to be the most replenishing.
I'm no expert standing at a podium giving speeches. I share heartbeats. Compassion.
Everyone just talks about the problems our teenage girls are facing and what they're dealing with. But there was, to me, a void in how they were being served or helped. I thought, 'Wow, I'd love to create something.

You have to be a little crazy to be a dancer.
I needed to find my own worth and shake the image after having done 'Showgirls' at age 21.

I had to work out where I was going, what type of films I wanted to make. For that reason, I decided to choose independent productions, less important roles, and I tried theater, too.
