Being in front of the audience, letting my audience see me in person - it is real intimate, you get to make them laugh and cry, they get to feel you. And then afterward, we go out and do a meet-and-greet session with the fans. It was just a wonderful experience. I really, really enjoyed it.

I don't like to see projects that are all black or all white. It's how life is. I do like to make sure that I do a nice black family film; that's like keeping my home base. I do other things, but I like to always come back to a positive family film, because of all the negative influences today.

I love chilling in a cute sweatsuit and wedge sandals or sneakers.

I must always have fresh orange juice, alkaline water and hazelnut creamer for my coffee.

I have learnt to be a congratulator and not a hater!

I'm so glad that Hollywood and America are embracing women when they get in their 40s instead of putting us out to pasture.

I went from working with Will Smith to working with Will Smith's wife. So the Smiths have been very good to me.
