Most people don't have so much talent that they can become a success all their own. We all need people to help us and lift us up.
If you can draw something from my life that helps, more power to you.
I really don't know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn't build my self-esteem, and it doesn't help me grow me at all.
Even if you don't have anything, even if you've got a quarter in your pocket, to share with someone else who has nothing really helps.
Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.
Bob Johnson had the vision to create a network for us when nobody else was.
I would say I'm voluptuous. Statuesque. Definitely curvaceous.
I'm not one of those people who wake up chatting. I usually don't want to speak for the first 10 or 20 minutes. And I don't really want you to talk to me either!
We had a blast. I can't even remember having this much fun making a movie. It was challenging, of course, but it was wonderful.
It just means I don't have to go far to get home from the premiere. My whole family is here, so it's wonderful. I can celebrate with Jersey for a change.
I'm cool with myself. If I can't have the body of Angie Bassett, so be it.
I used to do school plays. I never really took any acting classes. I'm just a natural ham, I guess.
I got a few marriage proposals in my 20s. I just wasn't ready. I just knew if I committed, I would've wound up doing something wrong, messing it up. I still felt like I had some living to do.
When my body feels good, I feel more energized and alive, and that's sexy. I'm taking care of this body God gave me.
