I don't need to do a reality show to make my mark in this world.

No family should have to endure the loss of a loved one at the hands of a previously convicted violent criminal.

I decided to become an actor at five. I saw the most gorgeous woman that I had ever seen in my five years of living on television. She had on a long, red dress and her eyelashes looked like butterflies and I said, "Grandmamma, who is that?" She said, "Baby, that's Lola Falana." I said, "That's it right there. I want to be black, fabulous, and on TV."

The truth is black celebrities are not as sought after in the press as white celebrities, and that is comforting.

Don't go telling yourself you're in love with the man he could be; you gotta love the man standing in front of you right now. Simply put, love the person not the potential! Otherwise, he will always be disappointing to you. And whose fault is that?

I feel like love is the thing we were created for, yet it's the place we struggle the most.

Reality does get a bad rap. But I'm not concerned about it 'cause I know who I am. They can edit it, but you are in charge of what you do.
