My dad is a director/producer and my mom is a dancer; she performed with Alvin Ailey, but I didn't even think about becoming an actress.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

Good storytelling appeals to me - good writing.

If you're in love and there's that chemistry, that's what it's all about.

When you have a play, you have to be on every night.

I've been in a couple with different races like Latino, white, Middle Eastern.

I love going to the movies and getting Raisinets, a big tub of popcorn and a Coke. That's definitely a guilty pleasure because I can't be doing that all the time.
