As an actor, you are always looking for something fresh and interesting and not ordinary.

Doing the voice for something [cartoon] requires an enormous amount of energy and you really have to use your whole body. It's cool.

I tend to play characters that arent supposed to black or written black.

I always like an environment where theres lots of women and everyones different.

Obviously, there's the seedy side of the strip club world and pole dancing. But, pole dancing, as an art form, is really beautiful. It's been hyper-sexualized because it's associated with strippers, but if you think about it, just in terms of other kinds of dancing, they're using an instrument to create these amazing dance forms.

I definitely am drawn to strong females who are successful, smart women because I am a woman like that. I think it's important to portray those kinds of women on film and television. Especially as a black woman, I think it's important.

It was fun. I'd never done anything like that. I'd never done any bi-sexual or lesbian scenes before, but it was really fun.
