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 don't ever want to be the type of person to tell you what to think or what to believe. Whatever stage in your life that you are in, I want you to organically reach whatever conclusions that you possibly reach.

I gotta go home and feed my eels. They're not electric, but I have a plan.

There are enough negative images of Black women out there and I did not want to portray Dorothy Vaughn in any stereotype. I wanted to make sure that her integrity was preserved.

I do believe that everyone has something to contribute.

Our challenges make us unique, and how we deal with them makes us unique.

For me, when you have to prepare to play God, and then walking away from that, you realize just how tough God's job is. I don't want that job.
