I decided to start embracing and wearing my natural hair, but there was only one problem; I didn't know what to do with it or how to style it. Growing up, all I knew was my relaxed, processed hair, so I had to go through this learning phase.

A solid sense of self will help a person to lead a full and happy life.

I think it's always nice to have a film where the underdog comes out on top, doing their best, and surpasses everybody's expectations.

'Beloved.' That's an amazing film and I'm sorry more people didn't see it when it came out.

Unfortunately, when you're an actor you're like 'Ah, if the only knew.'

Thankfully, I was given a strong base by my parents, an understanding of who I was and my strength.

Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.
