“I'm a singer, a writer and an actress - when I find something that I feel good enough about doing.”

“Above everything else I've done, I've always said I've had more guts than I've got talent.”

“I did theater at Spelman until I graduated from there, and I got to work with such luminous actresses as Diana Sands in 'Macbeth.'”

“Actresses have always been in a position of power.”

“It's definitely like being in some weird sorority. I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest.”
