Click here to check out my website for more pix & info.Click here to check me out on imdb.In the meantime, here are a few quotes that I try to live by:I believe that anything is possible because I am willing and determined:"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."(Ghandi) Be kind and forgiving: "It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion."(Ghandi) Don't let fear and time keep you from living life: "Twenty years from now you will be more sappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."(Mark Twain) I have been through a lot in life, but one thing's for sure, I will always keep smiling: "The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter."(Mark Twain) I surround myself with good people because I am always seeking to be a better person: "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."(Mark Twain)Please take a look below at my upcoming FILMS!Starring as Carmen in "Blue Sombrero"Blue Sombrero

I'd like to meet:

2007 PROJECTS:Wrapped filming on the International feature film from Bavaria! Bavaria, recently being recognized as the 'Miramax of Europe', cast me as the female lead, Shannon Senora, for their next film 'Short Cut To Hollywood' where I get to work with Berlin's famed writer/directors Marcus Mittermeier and Jan Stahlberg; well known for their 2004 film 'Quiet as a mouse' (OT Muxmäuschenstill), which won several awards and were acclaimed by the European press and public. Their names stand for a new refreshing way of dealing with problems of modern society.After two weeks of filming from Florida to New Mexico, I wanted to share my adventures with our German production across the country:The 2007 StayFree Girls In The Directors Chair!!!!Marta McGonagle stars as Hazel in the West Coast Teams' film "HalfCourt Push." Rachael Leigh Cook ("She's All That" and "Josie And The PussyCats") also co-starrs in the film. Please support Girls in Filmmaking by going to the website!www.girlsinthedirectorschair.com


Music:

Music can create a moment, a mood, a feeling... music is such a beautiful background for life. I love anything from The Cumbia Kings to John Legend. I have a VERY wide taste in music.

Movies:

I love so many movies from so many genres that it's hard to say my top picks, but here's an idea of my range:I LOVE Quentin Tarantino! My favorite was "Reservoir Dogs" until Kill Bill came along... although Steve Buscemi, Mr. Pink, is one of my FAVORITE actors so I'm going to have to stick with "Reservoir Dogs" as my top Quentin movie. Adam Sandler never fails to make me laugh. "What do you think Mr. Penguin?"(Billy Madison) To list a few more... Lord of the Rings, Willow, The Usual Suspects, The Shawshank Redemption, Moulin Rouge, Snatch, Seven, Schindler's List, Amorres Perros, Never Ending Story, Star Wars, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the list goes on...

Television:

Best show of all time... Seinfeld!

Books:

I've read so many great books in my adult years, but the ones that stay with me and always put a smile on my face are my childhood books. The lessons I learned at such a young age. The book that stands out the most was given to me by my first grade teacher, Ms. Edwards, called "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. This book taught me love, patience, forgiveness and most of all... how to give even when there's not much to share. Material possessions are temporary, but love is forever.

Heroes:

I continued to be stunned by friends, family, filmmakers, leaders and when it all comes down to it... I never fail to be astonished by my sisters. Their strength inspires me every day. I Love you Michelle & Alexandra.
