Being the person I am, you know, the size I am, being a woman, being a black woman, there's not a lot of roles for us.

I love Adele, I want her to be my best friend. She could come to the U.S., live with me and sing to me every morning.

Character is what someone does, much more than who they are. I can be sarcastic or I can be fearful, but it doesn't really matter until there's a story - until someone comes in and holds us hostage.

A hashtag is not helping... A hashtag is not a movement. A hashtag does not make you Dr. King. A hashtag does not change anything. It's a hashtag.
