I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that.
When you don't have a child to think about, life is a lot easier, but when you do, the thought process is a little different.
I love music. That's my first love. I'm actually going to start working on that full-time very soon, but I love acting as well. It satisfies a different part of who I am. I love to pretend, to imagine, try new things, work with different people, and just see how far I can go.
Stay true to yourself because it goes a long way. If you don't know who you are, who are you really?
That's the beautiful part about acting - you get to play somebody other than yourself. So, I'm open to people who can't sing, people who can, people that sing a little bit, or people that sing a lot.
I'm open to different parts. I would love to do something where I can sing and act at the same time.
I would love to play a main character and then play different characters as well. I would want for it to be a sitcom, multicamera, audience - that's definitely a dream. It's in the works, so...it's closer than everybody thinks it is.
I'm always smiling and happy.
Now that the baby is coming, I will do a lot more balancing. I'm going to be a real mommy.
Nothing can stop me from loving my brother.
I just want to continue to do comedy. Comedy, I'm discovering, is my niche. It's what I'm born to do, so I would love to have my own sitcom one day in the future.
I wash my face every night with Ivory soap, and I don't wear much makeup.
When I was a little girl, I remember carrying my orange UNICEF carton with me as I went Trick-or-Treating.
This is truly a blessing. Breyon Prescott, Peter Edge and Tom Corson believe in me and have introduced me to a home that also believes and knows exactly what to do with the type of music I'm doing.
