My excitement about my life and my future makes me happy, because I am a dreamer, and I always dream, no matter how many obstacles are in my way.
I want to be like Solomon, and instead of asking for riches ask for wisdom and creativity.
My dreams, my desires, and my goals make me smile.
I love to hear stories about people who got to places where they are today. Those kinds of things are very interesting to me.
Creativity inspires me.
Once you have the light of God within you, you see things within yourself that you did not know existed. Things that were hidden in darkness are now in light. I see myself as able to forgive... to love... I even see talents in myself that I didn't see before.
I do what I believe the Lord did, and that is walk in love with all mankind, which I don't see a lot of Christians doing. Christians can be so judgmental, that it can turn off people who are considering converting. It makes me a little embarrassed, to tell you the truth, when I hear Christians criticizing others. I have to fight against being discouraged, because I don't want to be connected with people who are so intolerant of much of mankind like that. God loves us all. He really does. And I want to walk in love with people.
We encourage women to become mentors within their communities in order to teach young girls how to thrive in this society. It's a good thing, so, I'm excited about having the platform and this opportunity on My Black Is Beautiful show, because I love my folk.
As a director, I have to do everything. As an actor, I'm just worried about one role, that's it. As a director, everything is important. Everything is something you have to be very detailed and specific about in telling a story. So for me, the job is far greater than just being the actor, there's a lot more responsibility creatively, technically.
That's just part of the blessing of being an actor: you get to learn so many things about life.
I always found myself trying to cover the mental anguish and the torment and the abuse that I was dealing with. That made me always question my beauty, my intelligence, and a lot of other things about myself.
You could drop me off in the middle of a sea of people, and I'm happy.
Humanity inspires me, people inspire me, I've always been a people person, and I love people.
I love actors, and I'm passionate about the creative process of acting and filmmaking.
I remember working on a show, and feeling so insecure about whether I looked attractive enough to do a love scene. It was weird because I couldn't understand why I wasn't feeling beautiful, even though I knew I was.
I felt like I was literally losing myself as being the joyful, spiritual, passionate, exciting woman that I naturally had been.
We're used to seeing fantasy explored from a male perspective, and the way men might see sex, have sex, want sex and even be addicted to sex. But I don't think women pursuing that sexuality within themselves is something that's talked about or experienced as often.
I've opened up my school in California in a beautiful facility on Ventura Boulevard. I'm always in heaven when I'm doing my classes.
I am just discovering my fashion side. I have never felt anchored when it comes to fashion.
