Mos Def is one of the most creative, intelligent human beings I've had the opportunity to work with. He is fun. The entire time, he would go in and out of different characters, just for the fun of it. Awesome energy.

If you can't help me grow, there's no point with you being in my life.

You owe it to yourself to live beautifully. And I am.

Singing and acting suit me. I made a vow to myself, to do everything that I can do with this life that I have, and I have to find the time to do this. Sometimes I need to be an actress. Sometimes I don't need to be Jill.

Sometimes, for principle, your gonna have to kick some ass.

I need to find creative diversity because if I get stuck, I get unhappy.

I've done a lot of fighting in my time, and I'm down to do some more. I don't want to, but you know, there's just certain things that you can't sit down and take.
