I actually worked with an organization called Drama Club that works with incarcerated teens and youth in a detention center and in Rikers Island, which a lot of people don't know that teens have been incarcerated in Rikers Island.
It's a complicated dynamic sometimes, mothers and daughters. There's this thing of, like, 'This is a model of womanhood for you,' but yet we find so many reasons why we don't want to be like our mother.
We all need somebody to say, 'I love you. I see you. And I'm not going to give up on you.' Everybody has validity. Everybody has a purpose.
Some of the joy in acting is switching it up: being able to do something that's different than what you've been doing.
I'm the ultimate studier of comedy. I grew up in a very funny household. My dad is the king of one-liners; my brothers are great at telling stories, and my mom is funny without knowing it.
I have a mole in my eye, which is a very specific thing.
