People think that as a celebrity, you have to have this sort of mystique about you, but I'm probably the realest person you'll ever meet.

The people who truly love me and loved me before all of this stuff. You can't ever leave them behind.

A lot of people don't know the first time I was ever on national television I was a 'Soul Train' dancer.

The beautiful thing about acting is that you can just dive into the character, strip yourself of everything, and just get in there and perfect your craft.

I am always the first to say that fame and entertainment is one of the best and easiest occupations to ever have, but one must know how to navigate through the matrix or you may find yourself in a very dark hole.
