I can dance. I like hip hop and stuff and jazz movements, but I'm horrible in ballet. I tried.
From Keke Palmer
Working with Ice Cube was so tight. He's cool, and I really like how he does family stuff. My guy friends couldn't believe I was chillin' with him. Dudes love Ice Cube.
Comedians like to see people smile. With acting, I love giving people a feeling, an emotion. I like to give people a feeling. When they come away from my scene, I want them to think.
My parents are my role models. All they've done for me, they're just major people in my life. They've stood by me and got me where I am today.
Anytime you see Beyonce, Jay Z, Kanye West. Anytime a young black person's doing good, that's motivation for everybody else. Anytime, anytime, it's motivation. Use that fuel to push you forward. That's what I did.
When people think of me initially, they remember me as 'Akeelah.' Sometimes it can be frustrating to be remembered at an age that you've outgrown.
Follow your heart's truth with no need for personal gain other than the feeling produced when doing what you truly love.
I love clothes! I shop everywhere, but I like Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus. It's a wide range. I'm from California, and I love the Pasadena Flea Market.
I definitely want to play someone who's inspired me. I would love to play Aaliyah; it would be personal because I love her so much.
You're going to have to speak up for yourself - and I learned that after always being, for lack of a better word, crapped on.
