throw
I live by myself. I come in the door, I can throw my stuff on the floor. I can leave the dishes.
best bring maybe people
I think most people write from what they see in their own world, which is maybe why we so often see an African-American woman as the best friend, or the one you bring in when you need some sass. It's like we're put in a box.
You have a lot of disappointments as an actor.
life trying
I'm not trying to live a social media life or a life to just be in a magazine.
beats good love
I love good beats and good lyrics. I'm pretty open.
buy genius india love music positive west
I buy everything India Arie, just because she's such a positive person, and I just love her music. Her music's so soulful... I think Kanye West is a genius musically.
compare constantly craft learned lessons opportunity people refined sure work
I think one of the most important lessons that I've learned is to put your head down and work. Don't look at other people and compare yourself. Just do the work. Because when the opportunity is there, you have to be ready. Make sure your craft is refined and you're constantly working on it.
board longest oprah time
Working for Oprah is a dream come true. She was on my dream board for the longest time.
depends eclectic music pallet
I have an eclectic pallet of music that I listen to. It depends on my mood.
crossing given god singers whatever
It used to be that film stars didn't want to do TV, and actors weren't singing, and singers weren't acting. Everybody's kind of crossing over to whatever they want to do. So I feel like, if you have it, use it. If God's given you this talent, then use it.
faces good surprised
I'll try anything once. It's always good to see peoples' faces surprised - surprised that I race, or that I surf, that I trekked through the Himalayas. As long as I don't die, I'm good.
bossy confident jacket leather white women
I feel most bossy in jeans, a white t-shirt, a leather jacket and some heels. I just feel bossy that way. I also feel confident in a sick dress at a premiere. Like most women, as long as I'm comfortable in it, I feel confident.
If you're with me, you'll know if I want to kiss you or not. There will be no question. When it comes to that stuff, I'm pretty bold with the eyes.
baked bleed dreams ethic ham honey job offered regular sold theater time ton turned work
I used to work at a movie theater and sold hams at Honey Baked Ham during the holidays. I sold a ton of hams, and they offered me a regular job there, which I turned down. I feel like anything you do, just do it 100% because then that work ethic will bleed through when it's time to work on your dreams.
