Quoted
-
“I grew up with a complex, being around all these beautiful, voluptuous women, and me being this little skinny girl. I had such a complex. I drank Myoplex weight gainer, and ate oatmeal every morning. Anything to gain a little bit of weight, and it never happened. It‘s so funny because this whole industry is about losing weight, and my whole life I've been trying to gain some booty!”

“There is only room for a certain amount of black actresses in this industry. I don't want to fall into the zone of playing the 'ghetto bootalicious baby mama drama.' I want to play something with depth, like a crackhead or something.”
