I Truly Loved Being Pregnant And Feeling

People Say That They Like The Characters That They Believe That I Am. But, I Don't As Much. I Like The Characters That I Believe That I Am Not. Like My Role On 'law And Order.' That Character Unnerved People. And I Loved Every Second Of It. I Want To Continue Growing As An Actress. There Are Ways That I Can Reach Quicker, Or Deeper, With Acting.

I'm Not Interested In Being Commodified. I'm Not Into Being Sold. I'm Not A Slave.

I Have Been Training Since 8th Grade, But It Has To Do With Listening, More Than Practice.

I Didn't Leave Home Until 27. I Was An Only Child Raised In Philadelphia By My Mother And Grandmother. My Grandmother Controlled The Stove. She Made A Lot Of Potato Meals - Mashed Potato, Potato Souffle, Potato Pancakes. When We Didn't Have Electricity We Ate Romantically, By Candlelight.

One Day, I Just Got Up To Read A Poem And Started Singing. I Looked Around - The Reaction Was Great. And I Said, Oh, Boy. I Like This.
