I've been burn when it comes to my hair that it ain't no joke.

I still go to a salon where a gal does my hair, and I don't know if it's because I'm a celebrity but by the time I leave there, we are eating chicken and talking and screaming.

I sang in church at 5. When I saw the reaction, I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

You think you can go into all those auditions not knowing who you are? The work came after I found my sense of self - when I wasn't so manic and desperate.

We didn't have a beauty shop as I grew up.

Whoopi and I have been friends ever since she claimed she couldn't sing on the set of Sister Act.

You are a black goddess when you come out the salon.
