I've never had a body issue; I've never had a self-confidence issue, and there's been very few times in my life where I've felt down about the way I look or the way I feel.
I feel that if you shelter your kids from everything, one day they are going to be out in the world on their own, and they are going to have to figure it out. You can't give them a test if you never taught them anything that's on the test. They're going to fail.
Sticking with your vision and what you believe in is so, so important.
I've had a lot of voices tell me what I should be making. Personally, I would much rather live and die by my own hand. If my stuff sucks, then at least I made it suck. I didn't allow some person, some old dude in a suit, to make it suck for me.
When I first started out in the industry, I was 12 or whatever, and I wanted to be on something so bad, and I didn't know what I was going to be on. At the time, I was in school, and I was working on drama and theatrical stuff, so I never thought that I'd end up going to comedy.
There's no such thing as trends. There's no such thing as style, even. It's just whatever you feel.
As a kid, my main interest was dancing. When I was 8 years old, I was in a hip-hop troupe.
Braids are not new. Black women have been wearing braids for a very long time.
I'm a Virgo, and I know what I like.
I was taught as a young child by my parents and family to love myself.
