I think Hollywood is so driven by money, the people who are making the decisions are not necessarily reflective of the melting pot, so what stories are you going to want to tell? You're going to want to tell stories about yourself.

I wouldn't want anyone to destroy the earth

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.

You can never be happy when you're constantly comparing yourself to others. Keep your eyes ahead.

In terms of facial creams or lotions, I try to switch it up and stay as natural as possible. l like Le Mer facial cream for when I have an event. It's very rich and sometimes too rich for some people, but I like it.

Everybody is different. I can think of three black men I've dated and they couldn't be more different from each other.

You would never expect a black woman to be the hero.
