Quotes

  • So I try to relish in that moment and try to smile about it and just be grateful for the time you have and you have to always remember to be kind to one another.
  • Holiday time makes me feel happy and festive and excited. I got a three-picture deal at Lifetime and I thought a Christmas movie would be the perfect way to come out and introduce it.
  • I would say, ‘One day I’ll be really famous.'
  • My skin as an African American tends to be a little drier, since I’m getting up there, just going outside in the sun, and all the years of the things that I’ve done to my body being in the entertainment business. For me, it was having hyperpigmentation or sometimes you get light spots. I wanted to do something that represented me. I wanted something that I knew really worked.
