crave days good steak
I listen to my body. Some days all I want is a good steak and others, I crave veggies and quinoa.
scary acting exciting
And it [acting] was exciting to me. And scary.
curious thinker
I've always been a curious thinker. And now, as an adult, I can articulate it.
fun
Somehow [Kenya Bariss] has figured out how to explore these very weighty, sticky, sharp topics, and still be funny and not make fun of the topic.
pondering whole-life
Why am I beating my hair up? Because I want it to look like something that it isn't? These are questions that I've been pondering my whole life.
sexy trying photographer
One of the photographers was like, "Can you stop talking and try to look sexy for a minute?"
girlfriend mean friendly
[Black-ish creator] Kenya Bariss wrote on Girlfriends. We've been friendly since then. He sent me [the pilot] and said, "I wrote it for you." But I know what that means in this industry.
journey people sick
Someone asked me recently, "Do you get sick of people asking you about your hair?" And the reason I don't is because I actually feel like you could chronicle my journey of self-acceptance through my journey with my hair. It's a badge of something bigger.
husband eye reflection
This woman [Bow] was not simply a reflection of who her husband was. She was her own whole self. And even if we weren't exploring life through her eyes, when we did see her it was clear that she had a full life.
moments okay hardest
In some of the darkest and hardest moments, there is always a part of me that is okay. And I can always access that part of me.
able way asks
There is a way to be a woman, ask for what we deserve and be able to negotiate.
covered-up legs shows
If I'm going to show cleavage or chest then I don't show leg. I show one thing. If I show leg then everything else is covered up.
indulgence
There are a ton of foods that are great for you, that's like an indulgence.
empowered stories
I'm always touched by people's different stories of who they are and why they made the choices that they made. I feel so empowered by the story behind the person.
