"As a woman and a person, we build walls to protect ourselves. As an actress, you have to allow emotion to penetrate those walls."

"I never believed that a career in acting would be possible for me, I have always been artsy but I love medicine and the mind so I followed the path I thought I was best cut out for, it was foolish not to have realized that acting and psychology are closely linked and that a love for one would strengthen the other."

"I believe in doing a good job in everything I do and I don’t leave anything to chance."

"Green has been my favorite colour since a small child. It is the colour of living things and the true colour of my eyes… Its a vital and powerful colour."

"The best advice I could give anyone in any industry is to never become complacent and to remain humble, as long as one works hard and Is gracious about their achievements they will succeed in one or another way."

"I highly value honesty, don’t compromise your integrity just to get ahead."

"I also love learning and growing my potential, I believe being complacent is cancerous; to have the ability and opportunity to learn is a privilege."

"I believe that all people juggle in different ways and every juggler is bound to drop a ball from time to time yet it is picking up that ball and carrying on that truly makes for an admirable juggler."

"No character is ever completely removed from the person telling their story, every actor allows for parts of themselves to come alive in the characters they play and that is what makes it real."

"Fashion; an outward expression of an inward desire."
