Hollywood respects the maverick, the person who's unique and has the confidence to defy the system and everyone who tells them they're wrong in order to follow their vision.

And I'm not trying to make a deal with You.'

Life is not just a few years to spend on self indulgence and career advancement. It is a privilege, a responsibility, a stewardship to be lived according to a much higher calling, God's calling. This alone gives true meaning to life.

I think that when you're an actress, you have to think about what kind of a role model you're going to be. I hope that I'm a good role model for young girls.
