Learn to love yourself and all that other stuff will not matter

Something that was instilled in me by my parents at a very young age is that there is no happy life without a life of service.

When you've been blessed, you have to share your gifts, and you also have to help others give their gifts away.

Don't depend on a guy for your happiness. You have to live your own life and do your own thing. That's when good things come around - when you do your own thing and you're not worried about a man. It will happen in due time.

I love music and I love acting. I always keep that in the forefront, not all the other distractions around me.

Whenever I get to talk to young girls like me I always say, 'The only difference between you and I is that I know that I'm special and you just don't know that you are yet.'

Working with Ice Cube was so tight. He's cool, and I really like how he does family stuff. My guy friends couldn't believe I was chillin' with him. Dudes love Ice Cube.
