“I want to make sure that any young person or anyone, really, who is looking up to me - who sees a glimpse of who I am as a person - that they see no shame, that they see pride, and that I'm truly unabashed about the person that I am.”

“I'm not a writer; I'm an actor. My job is to take whatever character I'm given and - especially because I have the responsibility of being a black actress, and I know young black girls are looking up, and everyone's looking to what's on television - to just try to give whatever character I'm playing as three-dimensional a portrayal as I can.”

“If I had to sing, everybody had to turn around or I would close my eyes so that I don't see anybody. Maybe that is why youtube caught my fancy. You can do it on your own, whenever you feel like, and perfect it before the world gets a glimpse of it!”

“It does get strange when you realize people will hang around for hours to get a glimpse of you doing scenes outside.”

“Come on, guys, I am a computer nerd. I love Hollywood and movies. My whole life is like a movie. I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for the mind-altering glimpse at the future in 'Star Wars.'”
