Every once in a while, I'll have an acting role that allows me to look at something in my life and work it out.

I work out. I used to go to yoga every day. Now I just incorporate yoga into my warm-up and my cool down. I drink a lot of water, and I go to therapy.

I'm dedicated to bringing to life what the author is trying to portray. I try to make the producers cry and the crew laugh.

Growing up, I didn't know about the Japanese internment camps until I saw a movie of the week as an adult. I remember going, 'How come that wasn't covered in history class?' Moving to California, you run into people whose grandparents lost everything and their businesses and were put in these internment camps.

Work is hard, but being a mom is harder.

My life guided me to express my full potential.

---

I read. It affects every decision that I make. Every dollar that I spend, every dollar that I make.

I'm a working actor, and I want to stay a working actor, and I want everybody happy.
