I think the hardest thing to do in a relationship is something for yourself.

I think that with beauty, people jump to the end instead of starting from the beginning with a good lotion or prep.

When you're an entertainer, it's hard not to compare yourself with the next person's success. But you have to trust your own journey and your strengths and believe in yourself. I think that's the best place to start.

To me, success is making a positive difference through art - making art that affects the world and that changes the way people feel about themselves and the world.

I just want to make sure that I'm taking roles that are positive, real, honest reflections of African-Americans because I do think the media can put African-American women in the background. Then, unfortunately, what happens is, subconsciously, our culture begins to assess that as reality.

I'm an activist. I'm a proud activist. So I want to be someone who is pro-black and pro-Africa and still be somebody that has positive influence.

When you're changing your diet, or you're becoming a vegan, your system will become a bit more sensitive, and you just have to deal with it.

I love being on tour I love being on the road. It's the most amazing feeling ever. I live for it I love it.

I'm happy when I have, like, one fan, but the fact that I'm getting fans from different places and different communities, it's really amazing.

I have more of a desire to write songs about being an independent woman than being in love, songs about getting up and moving on even if I have a broken heart.

I have more of a desire to write songs about being an independent woman than being in love, songs about getting up and moving on even if I have a broken heart. 'Wanna Say' is one of the few love songs I've ever done.

If you're a boxer, you have your trainer. As an actor, I have Ivana Chubbuck. She's my teacher as an actress and in this crazy thing called life.

There was a time when men thought it was sexy to have a housewife waiting for him to come home from work in her slippers, but in modern society, I think an independent woman is even more sexy.

'Blade' was amazing; I can't imagine the character without Wesley Snipes. He just made a long, black leather trench coat look so cool.

I love to add '90s trends mixed with modern day pieces I find along my many travels. Like these cool fun hats from Europe I have. I love to collect different ones from every country. I have them from London to Brussels.

I love a cool bralette paired with a high-waisted jean, maybe with Chanel suspenders and a good platform shoe.

I'm really into kind of finding different masculine pieces and making them feminine. Like cool oxfords.

Sometimes fashion designers will be like, 'This is what's hot right now, and you will be cool if you wear this,' but sometimes it's too expensive or doesn't look good on me or isn't who I am, and I don't need to just think that what you're saying is what's cool if I have my own identity.
