When I look in the mirror, I see a work in progress.
Surround yourself with good people that keep you grounded, work hard, and be patient.
I would define success as setting a goal for yourself and then accomplishing it. I think successful people set out to do something and then just do it. They know before they accomplish their goal that they will, in fact, accomplish it.
I'm really inspired right now by a lot of the actors and actresses who are pursuing storytelling outside of just acting. They're writing, producing, they are creating their own material. That's really exciting to me. It feels like the possibilities are endless as far the things that you can make and even where they can be shown.
I want to be remembered as someone who tried their best and hopefully succeeded.
I think training is helpful, but so is living a well-rounded life full of different experiences.
Music excites me, inspires me, fuels me! I listen to music every single day.
A dream role is a role that you can't even picture for yourself. Everything I've ever played I never pictured I would get a chance to play. It [has] gone beyond my wildest dreams. One thing I would love to do in my lifetime is a movie musical. I've wanted to do that since I was a kid. That's what made me interested in acting in the first place. I would do any type of musical, but I love the Harlem Renaissance era. I think a dream role in something that I probably can't see and I don't know when it's going to come.
I learned how to be a woman and a good person just by watching and observing my mother.
When the sun is shining, the right song is on, and I'm with people I love.
Even bad decisions usually result in good lessons learned.
The best decision I ever made was to invest in myself, both financially and time-wise.
My repertoire is small, but I can make a pretty tasty pasta sauce from scratch.
I listen to a wide variety of music of all genres, but sometimes you just need a cheesy pop song.
I love performing in any medium, and more the opportunities you have to vary things, the more you learn.
All actors have their own unique path when it comes to the development of their training and careers.
I feel comfortable in the US, the UK and in Ghana. They are all home to me in some way.
The great thing about really heightened historical dramas is that they can convey much larger themes.
