My parents are my role models. I also love Halle Berry, Robert DeNiro, Eddie Murphy, Angela Bassett, Tom Cruise and Jennifer Lopez. When I see their work, I get engulfed in it. They really capture me.

I think our society is all about judgment, which is so rude and disrespectful.

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 want to be labeled 'a human who loves humans.'

Know that you were made [the way you are] for a reason.

I believe you should be comfortable in your skin no matter what you go through - emotionally or whatever - as long as youre healthy.

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.
