Personally, especially as a young black woman, I didn't think that Los Angeles was a place for me to start. There's a certain type that they go for or don't.

My mom was really busy when I was growing up, but she did a really good job in terms of balancing her home life with her professional life. She basically took me everywhere.

I prefer theater and film. I did a little television, and obviously I'm not knocking it. It can be great, and it does pay the bills. But it's a little bit more disjointed.

My thing is that if you don't really connect to something or see that it's going to be something you're going to be proud of, I wouldn't do it.

Theater is a lot more interactive, more of a cohesive unit. With television, it can be a different director every episode.

One day I'm not busy at all; the next day I have work for months - that's kind of the way it works!

Im a songwriter and Id love to make that a part of my career.
