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.
mom car people
My mom would leave her job, and there would be throngs of people screaming and banging on our car. I come from a very private family, but I was born into a public family.
mom morning school
My mom didn't adhere to any of those typical rules. She woke us up for school every morning, and was there at dinner or would call at bedtime. She never left for longer than a week. She recorded while we were sleeping.
mom moving college
After college, I shot a pilot for a show on Lifetime, which was basically House of Style for a TV lover. I think I got paid $1,500, and I was like, "Mom, I'm moving out! I made it!" I did two seasons of that, but I felt like a talking head and wanted to do more.
mom mean house
I never heard my mom say, "Not now, I'm busy." But I did have extraordinary experiences that I'm very aware were extraordinary. I mean, I traveled Europe before I was 12 years old, had been to the White House numerous times. Andy Warhol photographed me; Michael Jackson called our house.
needs need-a-change seeing
We as women need to change our gaze from HOW WE ARE 'SEEN' to HOW WE ARE 'SEEING'.
