I close my eyes while driving and just sing along. I always open them again in time.

I look at myself and pick out the things I don't like. No matter how much I work out, I never get muscle tone in my butt and hip area.

Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can't we just be the sexy American girl next door?

I made my living being 20 or 30 pounds heavier than the average model. And that's where I got famous.

I don't like looking at awards everyday because I feel like they can make you lazy. So, I give them to my Mom and let her look at it everyday. They are symbols of the hard work she put into me. Her sacrifices allowed me and my team to win those awards. But I don't look at any awards everyday.

Well, I don't think of myself as a diva. I'm too dorky! Look at my shoes. (Points to the aforementioned sneakers.) I always look like this. I don't always want to be "working."

I love the confidence that makeup gives me.
