“I was pretty much predominantly raised by women, as they make up most of my family anyway.”

I just simply believe in having purposeful relations, period. That’s what its about at the end of the day.

I think the world should be represented on television and for the longest its been limited.

I don’t admire how much a person has, I admire what a person does with what they have and I think that defines you most.

However, I do appreciate people that are individualistic, mainly because I’m an impressionable soul and my friends become my big sisters and brothers in a way.

Given that this was all at a tender age, I imagine I was very impressionable.

It’s always funny to me when people meet me. They really think I’m from the East coast off top. When they get to talkin’ to me, they go “Oh no, she’s sooooo Southern”

People want everything quick and now. We live in the age of social media and hyper digital.

My friends are me and in essence better than me, they help me be better even when they don’t know it.

I get a kick out of making a strangers day.

I refuse to accept the idea that money is evil. People make things evil and negative.

All music now is influenced by Hip Hop. It’s so deeply ingrained in the culture.

All of my close friends have been in my life for years. My best friends are all people I met in grade school, going back as far as 3rd grade.

I’m pretty grounded in a lifestyle which disciplines me and gives me a sense of familiarity and comfort.

I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and seasonally lived in New Orleans and Boston.

There’s very few shows that truly reflect specific ethnic experiences, and when they come and come right, they’re a hit.

I have a unique ability to mock everything. I’m a sponge by nature, thats what my environment made me.

So I wanted to create soundscapes that are evocative of places that only exist in your head – that’s where the fun, psychedelic stuff happens anyway.

They don’t realize that the actor is looking at their faces, anyway.

I don’t talk very well. With writing, you’ve time to get it right. Also I’ve found the more I talk the less I write, and if I didn’t write no one would want me to talk anyway.

You believe in God, then you don’t believe anymore and when you have a big problem, you pray anyway.

It would be hard to play a character you don’t like – for me anyway – or can’t find something in them to like.

It’s never really that much fun for me to do movies anyway, because you – you know, you have to get up very early in the morning and you have to go in and you spend a lot of time waiting around.

Being brave doesn’t mean never being afraid, you know. It means going for it anyway because you know it’s the right thing to do.

Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.
