“There’s only one life to live; so I have to enjoy and exploit all the simplest things it offers, including my talents. I like expressing myself in every way that I can, and I found that writing/ acting allows me to express myself through characters; it brings a sense of happiness and freedom. I will continue to do what makes me happy as long I maintain my dignity and integrity”. This is her philosophy.
