Negative words are powerful boomerangs so be careful what you say about people and yourself.

I know who I am. I am not perfect. I'm not the most beautiful woman in the world. But I'm one of them.

Larry David makes me laugh.

I've been a tomboy my whole life. But then you get older, you get married, you soften up.

I wouldn't adopt, but what I will do is give my time and go and try to be there for people.

I used to think I was ugly. I thought I looked like a camel. A person who doesn't love themselves, they will see anything that pops up on their face. I've seen squirrels, I've seen a bird, and I've seen all kinds of animals on my face. But that is the result of self-hate. I've learned to say: 'You know what? I am a beautiful black woman'.

You demand respect and you'll get it. First of all, you give respect.
