I'm the little half-black, half-Jewish girl who was odd and awkward. I try to be myself.

I do remember being teased by my cousins on my mom's side for not being black enough. And then I'd spend the summer with my dad and be sent to all white summer camps where I was 'that black girl.'

When love is absent, then there is fear, and in my opinion you should lead your entire life through love.

Whatever your ethnicity is, in this life you are going to be on a journey to discover who you are and how you feel about yourself.

I have a hard time watching myself! Usually I do the work, and then I leave it. So I pretend like I'm not on TV every week.

I've always been a performer. That's just what I know.

I like being in relationship because of the comfort it provides.
