I just want to learn even more about my culture and about the Algonquin culture because I fell in love with Pocahontas and the Algonquin tribe.

I love the power of celebrity because you can give voice to the voiceless.

I prefer home-schooling because you can work at your own pace and go towards more what you're interested in, whether it be history or geography or math.

I lose film roles because I'm a person who doesn't keep quiet about certain things. But if my heart tells me something is wrong, I'm going to go and do something about it.

I really identified with Pocahontas' struggles as a young woman trying to identify herself in a modern, changing world and trying to stay true to her culture and heritage.

Portraying Pocahontas' story well was important to me because she was a real person and these were real events in her life.
