I am a woman, I make mistakes. I make them often. God has given me a talent and that`s it.

I would say for every successful black woman in America or in the world, really, it's difficult to be the head of the household, financially. It is for the man in your life. It can be very hard for them. And there's a delicate balance. I'm not quite sure I know what that balance is just yet.

I do so play an instrument! I play air! I play the air with my fingers, and I'm in touch with the deepest emotions within. It took me a while to learn that whatever I feel like doing is the right thing. If I want to play an invisible instrument, I will.

I've learned that friendship does not equate business, business does not equate friendship.

I've always enjoyed shows like 'The X-Files,' where you're on the edge of your seat and you're so invested in these characters.

I need my man to be my homie.

All you ever really want is a great character and great writing. As an actor, that's the juiciest sandwich you could ever ask for.
