I love working with kids and seeing the light come on when they realize they are smart. It's so beautiful to watch.
From Octavia Spencer
City Year resonated with me because when I grew up, we were poor - and an education is a way out of poverty. It's a way out of the current situation that can seem isolating and hopeless for some kids.
When you give kids the tools necessary to change their destiny, it's really empowering.
If you tell me I can't eat something, I'll obsess over it and end up overeating!
My weight has always been a struggle for me.
I know I'm never going to be one of those size 2 actresses - that's just not me. But I do want to be the healthiest I can be, and a role model to women of all shapes and sizes.
I think success happens when it's supposed to and when you can appreciate it. I am grateful that it didn't happen for me at 22 or 23. I would've been foolish enough to think that we're all entitled to it, instead of it being the divine blessing that it is.
The mentality of how we treat one another needs to be examined - especially how we treat our men of color.
As a kid, I was always very thin, and I kind of didn't know that I was skinny.
I gravitate to whatever looks good on me and whatever maakes me feel sexy.
