The best decision I ever made was to invest in myself, both financially and time-wise.

When the sun is shining, the right song is on, and I'm with people I love.

A dream role is a role that you can't even picture for yourself. Everything I've ever played I never pictured I would get a chance to play. It [has] gone beyond my wildest dreams. One thing I would love to do in my lifetime is a movie musical. I've wanted to do that since I was a kid. That's what made me interested in acting in the first place. I would do any type of musical, but I love the Harlem Renaissance era. I think a dream role in something that I probably can't see and I don't know when it's going to come.

I would define success as setting a goal for yourself and then accomplishing it. I think successful people set out to do something and then just do it. They know before they accomplish their goal that they will, in fact, accomplish it.

I learned how to be a woman and a good person just by watching and observing my mother.

I think training is helpful, but so is living a well-rounded life full of different experiences.
