I am not supporting Donald Trump. I think he does this country such a disservice. And I'm gonna leave it there.
I can tell you it makes a big difference to have a director who is collaborative. What motivates a character in my mind could be completely different from what the director's thinking. You have to have those conversations ahead of time and throughout the process. It affects the performance.
I will say that I appreciate Hillary Clinton's awareness and passion for women. I think she is overqualified in the sense that she's been in the White House, so she knows the drill. I am hopeful that she will continue to support minorities and create better opportunities.
So much of parenting is following your instincts, and taking the time to actually know your child.
I think it's a beautiful thing when you wear a uniform or a garb which represents a group of people, because what it immediately symbolizes is oneness, togetherness.
I think that if something matters to you, and is important to you, then you give it the attention and energy it deserves. So, I don't look upon it as a price, but as an opportunity to influence the community in a healthy way.
Directing music videos is all about capturing images.
I know how to make other women look beautiful: from hair to makeup to wardrobe. So, I feel that I have a gift with imaging, and that's kind of fundamental to the music video process.
As long as the acting is good, I can appreciate it.
It would certainly would be great to see more films featuring the black family and showing that we are capable of having that unit strong and present and beautiful, because that's so much of who we really are.
I am in constant search for that project that speaks to me personally. And when all the pieces come together properly, it'll happen.
I love shoes. I am a shoe fanatic. I have a special closet in my home just for my shoes.
I'm a self-made woman. I've never compromised myself.
Good shoes and a good scent make the perfect day.
