I had to work 10 times harder. People expect so much of you, because they want to see if you can strive and stand on your own.

I'll be stuntin like my daddy.

I love a nicely groomed guy who smells good. That's important.

I don't allow the industry or anybody to put me in a box. I did that for a minute and I was like, 'I can't do this anymore.'

I got into cooking just by watching my mom and my aunts and my great-aunts and actually one of my cousins who has her own catering business in Atlanta, Georgia. So everybody around me really cooked and it was just all these different styles and backgrounds and cuisines of cooking that I found so interesting.

We all have different things that we go through in our everyday life, and it's really important to know just at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you face, you know, that you're going to win at the end of the day. You got to believe in yourself. You got to believe in God, know that He's going to get you through it.

I have to see myself naked! That’s all that counts. If I’m not happy with my naked body, who will be?
