I'm not a big fan of doing what my mother wants me to do, like any daughter.

I hate yoga so much. Like, if yoga was a person, I'd stab them.

It's so weird to turn on a switch and be the role model for all women, for all African-Americans. That doesn't happen that easily. It does not. So I don't act up in public and don't do anything weird, because my sisters are watching me. Not because the world is watching me.

I can flip my tongue over. Only one in 10,000 people can. I learned that at Ripley's Believe It or Not!

I love the way I look. I'm fine with it. And if my body changes, I'll be fine with that.

I was born to stand out. I don't care whether or not people will find me attractive on screen. That's not why I became an actor. I know that more and more with each new role.

All we need to do is pay attention to ourselves and pay attention when somebody gives you a compliment based on something that you do naturally. Then that lets you know that that's your talent. I mean, talents come in so many different sizes, so many different colors, so many different ways.
