“Watching Mum work hard made me do the same. I've watched her since I w...” — Cynthia Erivo Quote

Watching Mum work hard made me do the same. I've watched her since I was little, and I've picked up on how hard she works and the fire she has in her belly.

I would love to appear in 'Scandal,' something like that, or 'Grey's Anatomy' because I think they're incredible.

I became a fitness fiend when I was about 17 or 18.

I don't believe that many things are impossible to achieve so long as you put your mind to it and take the time to get it done.

Just because I don't look like everybody else doesn't mean that I can't be just as beautiful.

For me, a hearty 'belly laugh' is one of the beautiful sounds in the world.

Smoked salmon is for dinner. Belly lox is for breakfast. Don't get that mixed up.

At any given time, all of us have an empty spot: one that is calling for companionship, for example, or for justice, love, romance, or a belly laugh. When I sit down to write, I look to see what hole needs filling at that particular moment.

I could take all the cartoons in the tabloid newspapers, but I couldn't take my daughter punching me in the belly and asking why I was so fat. That was my inspiration to lose the weight. And probably the last time anyone hurt my feelings.
