I think perfect happiness has everything to do with learning to be content with what I have.

Most parents' goal is to launch their children into the world with all the tools they need to make it on their own.

I would love to be bilingual. I think having a second or third language at my bidding would open up the world in amazing ways.

I love to travel, I love to go out with my friends, but what I love most is being home with my family.

Christmas was always a big holiday in our family. Every Christmas Eve before we'd go to bed, my mom and dad would read to us two or three stories and they would always be 'The Happy Prince,' 'The Gift of the Magi' and 'Twas the Night Before Christmas,' and I would like to keep that alive.

What I got which was unusual, especially as a child actress, was parents who believed that Hollywood was not that important. They told us education, family, health, all come first and they meant it.

Toronto has been home to me and my family for almost 5 years. I arrived here from Italy in January 2015 and immediately felt something special.

Maybe it's because my uncle and my parents were always very involved with the civil rights movement, so I just grew up and I was raised that you have to speak out and look out for your fellow man, woman, and child.
