It is important for me to feel like myself on a red carpet - not the way somebody else thinks I should look.

I'm attracted to bold women - I collect them. I met one of my best friends when we both were about 22 and working at 'Mirabella' magazine. I was wearing this blue dress I had borrowed from my mom, and I didn't know I had deodorant lines all over it until my friend signaled to me.

From Tracee Ellis Ross

In this day and age, I ask anyone I date right away: 'Are you married? Are you in a relationship with anyone? Does anyone think they're in a relationship with you?' And by the way, if someone says, 'Yes, I am dating other people,' that's not necessarily a deal breaker. But you have to communicate it, not hide it.

From Tracee Ellis Ross

Keeping the facts differentiated from the fantasy is incredibly helpful in gathering your information as you discover if a person is a match for you.

From Tracee Ellis Ross

Putting all your eggs in one basket has never worked for me. Personally, I find if I decide too quickly that someone is my match, I start to get a little nutty.

From Tracee Ellis Ross

I cook naked, and I walk around naked. I'm very comfortable with my body.

From Tracee Ellis Ross

I'm toned, but I'm not cut. I like a little jiggle!

From Tracee Ellis Ross

There's no way you can go home and learn lines, because you need to go home and sleep. So I've figured out systems. I order two lunches so I can eat dinner before I leave work, so when I get home, I can just go to bed.

From Tracee Ellis Ross

I don't have children. I don't know how I would feel if my child brought home a different race boyfriend or girlfriend. I don't think I would have any issue with it. But I have no litmus test for that.

From Tracee Ellis Ross

The experience of being a mixed person is all over the place - one of my best friends is Chinese and Italian; my other best friend is Lebanese and Trinidadian. The mix of heritage, culture or identity is something that our country is built on.
