Quotes

“My sister in law told my children that my voice was not as loud in the past. My voice started getting louder after having two kids.”

“I worried what the audience would think of me so I was always caught up in the image they wanted me to be. Now I want to let everything down and show them what I’ve got and I want to be an actress who can pull anything off.”

“I think anybody can relate to stories about married life, and our drama [Love ft. Marriage & Divorce] will prompt many conversations about it.”
