The only person who would employ me without a degree was myself.

I think my body language and how I carry myself speaks for me as a person.

I learned to forgive myself, and that enabled me to forgive my mother as a person.

I'm not a person who defends myself very often. I kind of let my actions speak for me.

The more comedic roles come easier to me though because I see myself as a silly, easy-going person.

I want to be my own person. I want to make a name for myself instead of having the name attached to me.

I'm an impatient person in many respects. I like to put myself in uncomfortable situations. It forces me to deliver.

For me, coming into my own and being comfortable with myself really changed me as a person and made me more confident and vibrant.

For me, I see myself as a role model because, everything I do, there is a person somewhere who needs to hear me spread a message of non-violent conflict resolution.

It took me 30 years to figure out who I really am, as a person, and who I want to surround myself with. I was very much the kind of person who would just meld in with whatever group I was near.

The artist who gave me the most inspiration and direction, especially as a singer - and I absolutely consider myself a singer, 100 percent - is Nina Simone. She's my ultimate pianist-singer-type person.

I'm learning what triggers me. What to stay away from. What I do like and what I don't like. To me, I've learned so much about myself that now I'm a stronger person. But I still deal with anxiety. Anxiety doesn't go away.
