Women love to impress and be their best.

It's always fun to be able to have a voice, because it helps me to stay in tune with the project and the people that I am working with. Ther's nothing worse than being on a project and not being able to have a voice. I don't like that.

I don't like forcing comedy and people just trying to do things just to find a funny beat all the time.

NO ONE is immune to the trials and tribulations of life.

When I'm playing Big Momma, it's so much work that all I want to do, when I'm finished, is go back home and just relax and study my lines and get ready for the next day.

You might see some of the movies that I'm in where there are shades of drama or whatever, but for the most part, I don't get offered serious roles.

God inspired me, because I was blessed with the knowledge that I wanted to do this. And my mother supported it. She said, 'Whatever it is you want to do. If you believe acting or comedy is what you really want to do, I can only tell you it's not easy, it's very hard, but I'll support you.' Her supporting me enabled me to move forward.
