Sitcoms are incredibly limiting. When you do a sitcom and it becomes a signature part for you, it's harder to do something else; but if you do a drama, you can get lost in it and have a role to do other things.

I love playing different characters and things that are challenging. I'm not interested in safety at all. That's what makes me get up in the morning.

I'm not married, nor do I want to be. I'm the loving kind but not the marrying kind, though I am romantic.

The roles that I feel I get, or handed to me, or whatever, are not that interesting. I don't think it's a problem that's specific to black women. I think it's a problem that's specific to movie-making in America.

Black women are supposed to be 'strong,' but the burden of carrying our race and carrying our families adds the pressure.

Pain doesnt have a face and pain doesnt have a certain way of adjusting. Pain is universal.
