- It's so important to have an inclusive and diverse talent portraying, and creating stories: to have the opportunity to disrupt unconscious bias and steer away from stereotypes. Cinema has that power.
- I refuse to erase my accent, I can modify it if a role requires it, but I share it with millions of people. If I erase this accent, is like saying that our voice doesn't matter and doesn't need to be heard. I do not agree with any of that.
