Wisdom means to choose now what will make sense later.

I'm trying to find my own version of what makes me feel beautiful.

After college, I shot a pilot for a show on Lifetime, which was basically House of Style for a TV lover. I think I got paid $1,500, and I was like, "Mom, I'm moving out! I made it!" I did two seasons of that, but I felt like a talking head and wanted to do more.

I think television is doing a better job than films in terms of representing people, but television is still not diverse.

Black-ish is really a show about an American family and these are some of the topics that come up - for all of us, in different ways - and we get to see how this family is walking through it.

I've always been a curious thinker. And now, as an adult, I can articulate it.

It would drive the photographers crazy because I would giggle and tell jokes. I was gregarious, and looking back, I realize I had a captive audience.
