I admire fashion and I respect it greatly, but I don't necessarily follow trends. I never really have. I just wear what I like to wear. I really like colors, and there are some things I wear and don't care what anybody says about it being in style or not. I wear it anyway.

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.

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.

I wasn't even a theater kid in high school. I studied classical piano, and I ran track.

I think even when I was little there was signs that I was an artist. I've always been an artist.

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.

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