Nobody can tell you how to be a good wife or husband.

When you set a play in the French Quarter in New Orleans, it's hard not to acknowledge the whole African-American, French, white mixing of races. That's what the French Quarter is: it's a Creole community.

Between the kids, the jobs and everything, no matter what color you are, cardio is probably not on the top of your list.

You have to work hard not to take your partner for granted, even when you are tired.

I think 'Soul Food' had the biggest impact on me because that's where I was really able to shine as an actress and because I also met my husband there, and that was a huge turning point in my personal life. So, that show will stick with me forever and ever and ever.
