I Feel Like Most Creative People Are

The Thing That My Parents Have Always Taught Me Is That Beauty Comes From The Inside, And Also That Beauty Stems From Health.

I Had Talked To My Agent A Lot Over The Years About Not Being Interested In Stereotypical "black Films" [because] I Didn't Like The Way They Were Representing Black People Over And Over And Over Again In The Same Way.

I Was Pretty Lucky, I Went To A Really Great School. I Went To A Steiner School, Which Is Very Small And Nurturing And Creative, So I Felt Like I Was In An Environment Where I Could Mature. There Was Less Of The Clique-y Stuff, Which Can Really Make High School A Living Hell For A Lot Of People, Going On, So I Was Very Similar Then To Who I Am Now. I'm Still A Dork.

I Like Photography And I Write; I Also Write Music. One Day I Would Like To Direct [films] As Well.

You Have To Take Care Of Your Body, You Have To Rest, Drink Water, Try To Eat Well, And Then On Top Of That, You Use Makeup To Highlight Your Beauty That Comes From Your Health.
