I'm not one about trying to slow things down. What I try to do is create an atmosphere for my family where we can pretty much have whatever.

Human spirit, things that aren't tangible, fascinate me, so I'm always researching mind, spirit, soul.

I have a great way of disappearing, and I'm able to do things people would never imagine. I'm often not recognized because I'm easy to hide if I change my hairstyle or put on a hat. I disappear very easily. That's not hard for me to do.

There still aren't enough[ roles for women of color]. And I'd say that's the case, not only for African-American women, but for all women in the Hollywood game. It's just slim pickings, and a very challenging time for us. I think that's why more of us need to work our way behind the camera in order to create roles that really illuminate who women are. We still have room for growth in that area, without a doubt.

My belief is that communication is the best way to create strong relationships.

Lack of confidence is what makes you want to change somebody else's mind. When you're OK, you don't need to convince anyone else in order to empower yourself.

It's always wonderful when you can have safe places where you can dance with the not-so-nice you in a fun way.
