Cree Summer

I want to continue acting as long as I feel right about it.

I wanted to be in a rock band. That's all I ever wanted to do.

I was never plunked in front of an idiot box because my parents had other things to do.

When I'm working with strangers, I can get a little timid or scared. With friends, I'm willing to' try anything, because there's a lot of trust involved.

I grew up in a house made out of mud.

My imagination works well because I didn't have a boob tube for a baby-sitter.

My journey is not to be a star but to become as aware a person as possible.

I worry about the environment. I'm very aware of what I eat, for example.

When I was 19 my friends dared me to come to Los Angeles and see if I could make it down here.

I guess when you come from a supportive family they always expect the best of you.

I always wanted to be a rock star.

I started school in the 4th grade and it was a real drag.

I know to shut up when I don't know what I'm talking about.

When you hang out with yourself, you learn to keep yourself in check.

My generation spends too much time in the mirror and not enough looking inside ourselves.

I know what it's like to have not and I know what it's like to have. I think I'm conscious of what I get and grateful.

Art is a gift and if nobody hears it, that doesn't make it any less of a gift.

With acting it was never a real passion or inspiration of mine.

My animation work is a major source of pride for me.

I've been singing since I was young.

I was in the 4th grade, and one day I didn't want to be in class. My father had just gotten a new Harley-Davidson, and he came and took me out of class. He said it was too beautiful to be indoors, so we stayed out all day.

I like to look at the skyline and the moon.

I'm really fascinated by the moon.

The Indians are a civilization wrought with culture and a beautiful, deep spirituality.

Being in the body of an African-American woman, I prefer animation. I get to be everybody. I don't have to always be the white girl's best friend. I can be the princess. I can make an inanimate object come to life. I can be a little boy. I can be anything.
