I think the ultimate challenge is to have some kind of style and grace, even though you haven't got money, or standing in society, or formal education. I had a very middle, lower-middle class sort of upbringing, but I identify with people who've had, at some point in their lives to struggle to survive. It adds another color to your character.

I feel like everything I do makes people feel really uncomfortable.

Until I learned to love myself, I was never ever lovin' nobody else.

Hanging a noose on my door reeks of cowardice and fear on many, many levels.

One thing I've learned is that I'm not the owner of my talent; I'm the manager of it.

I've had so many challenges throughout my career, however successful people perceive me to be.

I love the art form, but working in film can be a disheartening experience.
