There are so many different ingredients needed to be good in all of the above. I believe determination, hard work, and discipline are all necessary when trying to be good at acting, directing, and screenwriting.  It’s a field that in order to succeed there is a lot of tedious repetition of doing the same scenes over and over again . Similarly, , when it comes to screenwriting it’s long hours and revisions of the same story.

Have you ever accepted a part/ a movie to direct/ a script to write even if you didn't like the project?

No I will not act, write, or direct anything my heart and soul does not connect too. To be in any movie takes more than a 100 percent work effort so your heart has to be in it. 

What's the best compliment you have received about your Job?

That I am an amazing storyteller, actress, and an award winning screenwriter.  The best compliment is every time I receive an award in a film festival.

I think “satisfaction” the term is paired better with an experience versus a career. A career is always evolving no matter how accomplished you become, so satisfaction would not make sense because a true expert will never be satisfied.

I don’t have anything in particular. I am pretty spiritual and I love to wear jewelry that brings good energy, and has meaning to my life.

I don’t have any particular moments to discuss, however if you keep filming the same scene and it’s not coming out the way the director likes it could be frustrating.

There is no need to lie, because the universe will always open up doors when you do the right karma.

If you should win an Oscar your first taught would go to…

If I was to win Oscar , I would know that my perseverance , dedication, attitude, and talent got me there. Winning an Oscar is the ultimate culmination of one’s journey, how far one climbed up those mountains, and managed to stay afloat amidst a bleak forecast. Being in the motion picture business is perhaps one of the most cutthroat industries to survive in. It’s those that know they are there for the long haul, and their passion is the motion picture business and reaching audiences worldwide to make a difference.
