If you can draw something from my life that helps, more power to you.

I feel strongly that women who look like me should feel great. So I am not changing.

I believe that the kids, young people should have an opportunity to have Oscar nominated actors in their movies too.

So often, you don't get that opportunity. You only go over everything once and, the next thing you know, you're on set.

There's no way I can represent for everyone. I can't represent for all women or all big women or all black women. It's important for people not to make celebrities their source of who they should be in life. I can't take on the pressure of being perfect. Nobody is.

People say I'm going to be the next Oprah. But I say no, because Oprah is still Oprah. I'll be the next me. I feel like there's always a lane for me as long as I'm true to myself.

You have to allow your mind to create and then if you want to censor something and bring it down or point it in a different direction, then you can do it.
