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

In one day, I got mistaken for three different actresses: Wendy Williams, Sherri Shepherd, and Star Jones.

I didn't marry a man that wanted to be in the business. But that's why we're a perfect fit.

People recognize me from everything and as soon as I think I know where they know me from, I'm always wrong.

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."

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.

I would like to think that television would be representative of the world we live in.
