I don't think in terms of failure....I don't feel like anyone outside of me should be setting limitations. People should be encouraged to shoot for the moon.

I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities.

What we're doing is not just about becoming a model. It's bigger than that. It's shining a spotlight on folks who know who they are. They know what they want to do. And in terms of modeling, they're already working. They know what they're doing! They're fantastic!

If you read to me I could tell you everything that was read. They didn't know what it was. They knew I wasn't lazy, but what was it?

I grew up in a time when it would never have occurred to anyone to tell me there was anything I couldn't do.

I dig being a mother.

I'm fighting the label of 'Black' actress simply because it's very limiting in people's eyes, especially people who are making movies.
