Every character I get to play has some element of who I am, but there's no fun in playing yourself. At least, for me, there isn't.

I look for roles that resonate with me these days. While I love putting out just fabulous entertainment, I think now as artists, especially with so much uncertainty going on in the world, you want to be a part of things that offer or promote healing in some way and perhaps a little introspection once you leave.

I prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.

I can only live in my truth.

You can't be from Montgomery, Alabama, and not have a background in the church. It's at the core of who we are as a people.

I'm probably the most militant person you'll ever meet and I speak my mind without provocation sometimes.

I have experienced loss in my life, but the thing that brings you back is your faith.
