There’s still plenty to do. I think I’ll never run out
of things to accomplish, as long as I’m alive, because there’s
so much to learn, and so much to do. I always feel like I have
so much further to go, personally, spiritually, emotionally, mentally,
and physically.

America
is really on some race stuff. It's unfortunate that we don't
deal with it and that's why it doesn't go away.

I miss the
'70's where you had shows like 'The Jefferson's' and 'All In
The Family' where Black people could be Black and white people
could be white. Racists could be racists, and non-racists could
be non-racists, but it was talked about.

To be honest
with you, all my life I’ve been in a battle to overcome
my fears. I’ve had to take that chance with everything
I’ve done, from riding my bike down that driveway, to skateboarding,
to soccer, to every sport I every tried out for.

For me,
it might sound cliche, but beauty for me really does start on
the inside. It's like a state of mind, a state of love if you
will. Then, whatever you can do on the outside is all like a
bonus.

I never
limit myself to supposedly typical female roles, let alone African-American
female ones. Neither does my agent or my partner slash manager.
So, when they’re out there looking for stuff, they’re
looking for good pieces of work. Good ideas, not just a role
for a black female.

People like
to label you. I've never like being labelled. I can't take it
because I'm never going to do the same thing over and over and
over. I hate being limited. I hate being put in a box. The music
that I've made, the way that I've carried myself, I've always
had this weird broad audience.
