I must always have fresh orange juice, alkaline water and hazelnut creamer for my coffee.

I don't like to see projects that are all black or all white. It's how life is. I do like to make sure that I do a nice black family film that's like keeping my home base. I do other things, but I like to always come back to a positive family film, because of all the negative influences today.

I love chilling in a cute sweatsuit and wedge sandals or sneakers.

Being in front of the audience, letting my audience see me in person - it is real intimate, you get to make them laugh and cry, they get to feel you. And then afterward, we go out and do a meet-and-greet session with the fans. It was just a wonderful experience. I really, really enjoyed it.

Being a producer and a star of the play was a lot more challenging and difficult than I ever anticipated, but so rewarding. I got to be involved with the writing, the casting.

Cougars are all the rage! I'm so glad that Hollywood and America are embracing women when they get in their 40s instead of putting us out to pasture. That's when a woman's in her peak. That's when she's hot. She's already been through all of the junk. She's confident. Secure with who she is.

I’m just enjoying just having a little me time, you know? But it’s not that I’m not taking applications.

When I started off as an actress, I did at a play at the Taper Too Theatre here in Los Angeles, called 'In The Abyss Of Coney Island.' That was more of a dramatic play. It was a small theater house. This was the first time I was literally on the road, doing a play, for four months.

I have learnt to be a congratulator and not a hater!

What I remember about the experience is that if you went to go see 'Born On The Fourth Of July' and you happened to take a bathroom break real quick or grab some popcorn, you probably missed me. It was short, but it was memorable.
