I've become really comfortable with my sexuality and making no excuses for it anymore.

I've learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I'm not all about frequency - I favor intensity.

Any time you risk big you often risk losing big. You can win big but you can also lose big, but you have to be willing to take those risks.

I'm just going to live my life and be who I am.

I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right. I don't think I'm unlike a lot of people. I am just someone who is trying to find that mate, and I think it's a really hard thing to do. And I'm not willing to stay somewhere where I am really not happy. And I am not willing to pretend I am for the kid's sake or so that I don't have to go through another public humiliation.

I've pretty much learned I can let that [being black] hinder me if I want to ... or I can fight for different kinds of roles.

When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner.
