Nothing goes to windward like a 747.

I don't know that the stereotypical idea of what it is to be a child of somebody hugely famous necessarily comes into play in my life.

I was shy, but it came out in a big personality. My turning point was when I let my hair go naturally and I got contact lenses. I am really blind, by the way. I have these big eyes that don’t work!

You might be someone's favorite, but you might not be someone else's favorite. I will tell you that there was a [casting notice] that said "Tracee Ellis Ross type," but [the producers] didn't want to see me. I've been in this industry long enough to know that even if someone wants to promise me something, it doesn't mean that it's going to happen. There are so many things at play. But it was flattering and exciting.

I like to choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear.

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

I hope they look at me and think, 'That lady looks like she accepts herself'.
