I got an early education from television.

There is a class system in acting just like in anything else. Black females fall in a category below black male actors.

I've played piano and guitar when I was younger.

My older sister Nikki went to Hampton music school in Virginia, then to another school later in New York.

I'm not the classic type - fair skin, very beautiful women of a classic type, I'm talking about now.

This business is all about being seen, and the more people see you the better.

I face every project the same way - do it right and give 110%. 100% isn't good enough.
