I grew up in a family of predominantly female bread winners who are strong and are fierce and opinionated. There's not enough women like that on the screen.

What's odd is that nobody in my family is an artist. My cousins are, like, secretaries at law firms or nurses or just more blue collar. And I was in a baseball team. I used to be, like, a really big tomboy.

When I have kids, when I have a family and nieces and nephews, I'm gonna teach them to love more and be kinder and to not judge someone by the colour of their skin or any other thing.

I grew up among strong women so I know what it's like to be loved and humiliated in a heartbeat.

I am the blood of the dragon. I must be strong. I must have fire in my eyes when I face them, not tears.

I want to keep playing strong female roles. I don't mean superheroes, but women who are really alive.
