I believe that we have to be so race-conscious in this day and age.

A guy once told me that I sound like I’m a little ahead of myself. I can’t wait to thank him at the Oscars.

Not just as a black woman, but as a woman, since the beginning of time, beauty has been our responsibility.

My daughter has a vivid imagination, and so does my son.

My humor is a lot like Kristen Wiig's from 'Saturday Night Live' or 'Bridesmaids.' Quirky, off the beaten path.

My husband and I are loyal to our community and very approachable, even though we're kind of mainstream.
girlfriend artist play
I'm kind of floating out there as an artist. I'm in a safe place where I can play a girlfriend or a best friend or a mommy or a lawyer, but a huge part of me is unused. I'm classically trained, historically inclined and somewhat revolutionary by nature, so I'm frustrated as an artist.

blow priorities together
You shouldn't marry unless the both of you are on the same page on a lot of things. Life is going to deal you blows, and you have to be together. Your values and priorities have to be on the same page; otherwise, it won't work.
