I am actually very in touch with all of my emotions, from joy to pain, and I am free with them.

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.

I believe in getting a good education to be able to go out into the world and make a difference.

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

Making 'Beloved' was an awesome experience.

I don't have to be glamorous all the time.

I love seeing my mom and my daughter embrace their natural hair. I'm glad I've embraced it, too.
