I'm an American; I'm not an African-American. I'm an American.

I'm very fortunate to have parents who have kept me grounded, so I hopefully won't end up in a bad situation when I grow up.

I never said I wasn’t Black… I want to make that very clear. I said, I am not African-American. I never expected my personal beliefs and comments to spark such emotion in people. I think it is only positive when we can openly discuss race and being labeled in America.

I'm growing as a person, so everything around me is changing.

I am obsessed with my hairstyles.

Everybody takes breaks, and I decided to take mine. I wanted a chance to wake up at two in the afternoon and not be a subject of entertainment. I wanted to be a human being. At certain times and certain years, I felt like the Energizer bunny. That gets old very quickly.

I'm an American; I'm not an African-American. I'm an American.
