I face every project the same way - do it right and give 110%. 100% isn't good enough. |
My family is very theatrical. |
If you're going to do something, make it right and make it as good as you can. Don't waste anybody's time, especially your own. |
My driving force is spirituality. |
Singing was the big focus and outlet for me. |
And I used to listen to a lot of jazz. |
This business is all about being seen, and the more people see you the better. |
There is a class system in acting just like in anything else. Black females fall in a category below black male actors. |
I have to approach my life in this way so I can do what I need to do, and do it very well. |
We always performed for our church, but we also just performed whenever the family got together. |

I fit into the quirky, character class type of actor. |
Voice is my instrument. |
I'm not the classic type - fair skin, very beautiful women of a classic type, I'm talking about now. |
Chick Corea was a great influence on me, musically, as I was growing up. |
When I was five years old I knew I wanted to act. |
I hated stand-up. |
So many comics have such low self-esteem. |
Watched Star Wars in 77 and that's when I got into watching films. I was just blown away by it. |
It's all about humanity, humility, and integrity. |
