“I was very excited to meet Queen Latifah at the NAACP Awards a few yea...” — Janelle James Quote

“I was very excited to meet Queen Latifah at the NAACP Awards a few years ago. She is an idol to me.”

“I don't have a story about how when I was a kid I wanted to do comedy.”

“If you don't like your therapist, find another.”

“The arts were like, there's no opponent. It's just yourself. I'm not saying they don't make the arts a competition with awards and all that, but that's outside the work itself.”

“Yes, of course I love little Sarah Jessica Parker. I love the fact that when she accepts awards, she thanks everyone she's ever met and inanimate objects that have 'been kind to her.' And I love the fact that she hasn't had a flesh-coloured mole removed from her forehead (I'm not making it up; have a closer look next time she's on the screen).”
