It's sad to have to leave your family but I like the idea of someone believing in something so strongly that are willing to find a new family.

When you look cakey, or you have too much on, and you actually see the makeup, the makeup isn't doing its job. When you use the makeup in a way where the people aren't thinking about the makeup, and they're looking at you, that's what we want.

I never had a real job. I started acting in high school, and then I started working. So, I never got to have that experience.

If you're not taking care of yourself, lipstick and foundation isn't really going to do anything for you.

I'm lucky having parents that have been in show business for a while and they don't care about the shiny stuff so much. They raised me in that way - to stay grounded, not to chase the shiny pretty things. I stay in the moment, because when you do that the hype goes away.

I had talked to my agent a lot over the years about not being interested in stereotypical "black films" [because] I didn't like the way they were representing black people over and over and over again in the same way.
