My wish for the world would be to end violence against women. My wish for myself would be for peace of mind.

I decided to follow my dreams and my passions and to always have an adventure, no matter what it is.

I like directors who have worked as actors. They know the experience.

When someone who loves and cares about me compliments me, I feel more glamorous than when the flashbulbs are going off on the red carpet.

The black community in Hollywood is very small and close-knit. Everyone has a common goal: to make a two-hour movie in 30 days.

In my career, there have been roles I haven't taken because someone involved with the project gave me a bad vibe. I don't care how much money is on the table: No job is worth feeling uneasy every day.

A couple of my friends started having babies, and I thought, 'Maybe one day, with the right guy.' I have to find the guy first.
