Saturday Night Live is a show that I think I could have a lot of fun on, just being different characters and maybe singing, too.

A lot of the girls I grew up with were pregnant by the time they were 16. I just was lucky.

I'm the girl that waits for the director to say, 'I like that,' or 'Can you boost it up?,' or 'Can you pull it down?' I'm that kind of actor. I started in theater, so that's the feedback that I'm accustomed to. It's the feedback that I really thrive off of.

For a writer it's a dream to sit and watch people as close as possible.

I'd been told that when you first put your feet on African ground, you'll be hit by a feeling of overwhelming understanding, like you've returned home and suddenly belong. Quite frankly, I didn't feel that.

I don't rhyme right now, but I may ten years from now.

Once I started looking for a record deal, I had a trainer. And the trainer told me that I would never sell a record if I didn't lose weight.
