I was looking to show people I could act. I was looking for something that would take me away from the whole hunk riding off into the sunset thing that people wanted me to play after Brown Sugar.

   

I'm in the booth and first of all, I'm from Germany and I had never heard a gospel in my life.

   

Sometimes in the black culture, being raised as an independent woman is misconstrued as someone who doesn't need a man. I think that's wrong. I think we all need someone.

   

As part of my relationship with my wife and my daughter, and we share everything and talk about everything.

The whole time I was modeling, I had a place in Paris, and a place in New York, and I was really single.

Gospel artists are messengers; they are vessels of a message.

   

We have relationships and know the exact outcome with that person because we don't deal with ourselves and don't deal with our issues and end up being attracted to the same person or the person is attracted to our energy.

   

I know I can act and it doesn't matter where you come from.

   

Don't ignore the past, but deal with it, on your own pace. Once you deal with it, you are free of it; and you are free to embrace your life and be a happy loving person because if you don't, the past will come back to haunt and keep coming back to haunt you.

   

Yet, that's what studios do. If one thing works, they'll keep doing it till it runs its course and people aren't interested anymore.

   

I had to study acting to basically educate myself.

   

You can be very independent, but admit to wanting somebody close to you and that's what me and my wife have. We don't need each other but we want to be with each other and I think it's important to educate the kids with that.

   

The Southern Baptist Church is a specific culture in itself. So, I had to study, talk to people, watch tape and go to performances to see how Gospel artists move compared to secular artists.

   

We're very open and outspoken about our faith and our beliefs. We also talk about our doubts, our moments of insecurities. We talk about it all day, how we're inspired by God. We recognize little miracles every day, and that's how we're raising our daughter.
