If I can look at each character that I am given and create them in a different way from the last role, I'm happy.

I have from time to time been a double A or triple A personality. I'm not anymore. I'm more lenient on myself.

For me, what I try to heal is the major thing that I think all of us go through, where we came from. From our family of origin.

Who told you to step on my sneakers? Who told you to walk on my side of the block? Who told you to be in my neighborhood?

I have this vision that I'm really watching each one of my daughters start to become women, and mothers. And this is what's gonna save our planet.

In my culture, my mother's sisters are also my mother. And my father's sisters are my mother's, too. So I have many mothers. My mom has a fierce love for her children. And she's known to say things like if you die I'll kill you.

I love the smell of fried chicken.
