I Already Enjoy Cooking. I Like Different

I Think As Far As The Music Industry Is Concerned, It's Kind Of Been The Wild, Wild West In A Way With The Internet, Which Is Not Necessarily A Bad Thing To Me.

I Was Taught From A Young Age That Many People Would Treat Me As A Second-class Citizen Because I Was African-american And Because I Was Female.

There's No Way I Can Represent For Everyone. I Can't Represent For All Women Or All Big Women Or All Black Women. It's Important For People Not To Make Celebrities Their Source Of Who They Should Be In Life. I Can't Take On The Pressure Of Being Perfect. Nobody Is.

I'm Probably Proudest Of Being Able To Lift A Lot Of Us Out Of The 'hood. That's The Biggest Thing, That I've Been Able To Employ A Lot Of People And Give Them Opportunities.

I Approach The Film Business The Way I Feel About Self-esteem. It's Something That Has To Be Maintained. That's Kind Of How I Feel About Positive Roles In Hollywood. They Have To Be Maintained. You Have To Purposefully, Intentionally Try To Make The Right Type Of Films. And The More People That Do That, The More Things Will Continue To Improve.
