You may not be thinking about politics, but politics is thinking about you.

I don't gravitate toward any one designer because I think of fashion as the costume of the everyday woman.

Your life is your story, and the adventure ahead of you is the journey to fulfill your own purpose and potential.

I didn't grow up thinking I was pretty; there was always a prettier girl than me. So I learned to be smart and tried to be funny and develop the inside of me, because I felt like that's what I had.

I feel like any single woman of color who's been onstage has a Shakespeare monologue in her back pocket, and a monologue from 'For Colored Girls.' It's just part of what you should have, as a woman of color.

I come from the theater and I plan to always do theater. So I don't really see myself not being able to act even if people don't think I am sexy enough for film at 40, I'll still be acting.

I can be in a little bit of a state of overwhelm and panic if I don't start out being connected to grace and gratitude.
