I think that I'm coming off as the biggest alcoholic in the world.

I sort of feel like that's the most revolutionary thing we can do with our narrative for me as Black people is to show that we are just like you.

I've always seen myself for who I am, which is a lot of things. So, I guess that when I walk into a room, I bring all those things to a role, and I've always just simply seen myself as an actor.

I am the mother of a 6-year-old now, so that's changed my entire perspective.

Every artist, true artist, struggles with an overwhelming sense of feeling like you're not worthy.

Even when I get the fried-chicken special of the day, I have to dig into it like it's filet mignon.

I had to invest in the love and understand that with the love comes the pain. So when he tells me that, the monologue is already there. Does that make sense?
