I had a strong visceral reaction to the 'Moonlight' script, partly because I felt I knew all of these characters.
I'm a storyteller who wants to tell untold, meaningful, universal stories in unforgettable ways. I want to do it all, study it all, and find my place in it.
I believe it's time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them.
I have a great body, I really do. But I want to be taken seriously as an artist, and wearing anything that shows it off will be a distraction from the music. That's how my signature uniform, my tuxedo, came about. It's classic and timeless. You'll see me in black, white, and a pop of color on my lips. That pop adds a little magic.
When I first started in this industry, my goal was to be some best friend. The sidekick. I thought that would be an accomplishment.
I always carry my classic black-and-white tux and custom-made George Esquivel saddle shoes.
