I'm a power fanatic. I like to own things, and have them be mine. Acting doesn't belong to you, if you're not the writer or the director.

We know what happens to little black boys that have no dads; we've heard that, we get it. But no one is really saying that young women who are born without fathers have real serious issues especially when their mother had no father and the mother has issues.

I've always had a man's mindset, and that's why I mostly have men friends and that's why I've been around so many men. I've always been a tomboy. And any man that knows me will tell you I'm not a girly girl.

There are a lot of things that I have not shared that I will never share. I do have a personal private life.

I'm surprised that people think they're important. To me they're not.

I never heard 'I love you' as a child. I never felt pretty or cared for.

I have me. I have God. I have my son. Everything else is extra.
