“I'm obsessed with cooking! I want a degree in the culinary arts!”

“'Blade' was amazing; I can't imagine the character without Wesley Snipes. He just made a long, black leather trench coat look so cool.”

“I wanted to be the first female, young teenager producer, and it didn't happen. And when it finally did happen, I was shelved because I was signed to Warner Bros.”

“If you're cast on 'The Vampire Diaries,' the likelihood of you dying is very good.”

“I think sometimes when you want attention, you can wear sunglasses, and people are like, 'Who is that?'”

“When I first started performing, the only community that truly got what I was trying to do was the LGBTQ community.”

“My experience with music, I'm not going to say extremely negative, but it's definitely been a grind; it's been grimy - it hasn't been a pretty process. It's left me crying, you know, on the carpet in my tiny apartment with, like, no money. But it's been worth it, it's my passion, my dream, it's what I love to do.”

“I just want get to as high as I can go. I think that's the safest and most politically correct thing I can say. I'm not trying to take anyone's spot. I want to create my own lane and shoot to the sky.”

“Will Smith is one of my favorite actors, and he's also a triple threat. He successfully crossed over from music into acting. Also, I liked 'I Am Legend' because it was so unexpected. The movie wasn't what I thought it'd turn out to be.”

“I just don't stop working.”

“You just can't afford to care that much about the negative things people say about you. You just can't!”

“I like different statement jewelry, especially around the ears.”

“When you're changing your diet, or you're becoming a vegan, your system will become a bit more sensitive, and you just have to deal with it.”

“I think that with beauty, people jump to the end instead of starting from the beginning with a good lotion or prep.”

“It's so important to get your skin to look even, whether it's with a MAC Cosmetics glow, a Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, or even just a solid foundation. Start off with a good prep and a good primer.”

“MAC Cosmetics is incredible for lips; I always wear it.”

“I'm all about high-waisted pants and skirts, pencil skirts, and sheer, long-sleeves in the summer.”

“Sometimes fashion designers will be like, 'This is what's hot right now, and you will be cool if you wear this,' but sometimes it's too expensive or doesn't look good on me or isn't who I am, and I don't need to just think that what you're saying is what's cool if I have my own identity.”

“I'm into Gucci a lot, like vintage '70s everything. I'm into Versace.”

“I hope to do multiple characters throughout my life that are separate from me. I think it's a cop-out if you play yourself in everything.”
