I want adopted people to know they were chosen.
Voice work is the best - no need to dress up, no audience, no pressure, nobody's judging you.
It's so much easier when you're a size two or three to just slip on anything. But a big girl, sometimes you've got to strap some stuff down!
I've thought my show would be a sitcom or a talk show. Never in a million years would I have thought my show would be docu-series/reality because you always think reality is something crazy.
After my episode of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' ran, Larry David and JJ Abrams were like, 'I discovered her,' but I was like 'Hold up. Please. I'm from 'Next Friday.' Everybody knows me!'
Back in the day, we ate fresh; our parents cooked. Now, we're starting to think things are fresh because they're in a can, they're in a box, or they're frozen. That's not fresh. It's difficult to get real fresh.
My cousin was Ron O'Neal, who was 'Superfly.' Films like 'Shaft' and 'Superfly' were the biggest things out there in the early '70s. It's hard to remember just how big they were - how much impact they had on the culture, the music, the fashions, the hair styles.
I've always wanted to work with children, to help people, and to be funny.
I've always wanted to be a man for a day.
Of course I watch 'Life with La Toya' on OWN.
I've always dreamed of becoming a mother. I thought I would get married and do it all the traditional way, but life kept going on, my career kept me busy - and I had not stopped to become a mommy.
Shaker Heights, Ohio is a predominately white neighborhood. It was when I moved in, and it still is.
I saw Nichelle Nichols in 'Truck Turner,' and she was so good.
Sometimes, moms have to be creative to get their babies to eat healthy.
