There was a time when men thought it was sexy to have a housewife waiting for him to come home from work in her slippers, but in modern society, I think an independent woman is even more sexy.
I am more vintage than I am high fashion.
I just don't drink alcohol. I never have; I never will.
I just want get to as high as I can go. I think that's the safest and most politically correct thing I can say. I'm not trying to take anyone's spot. I want to create my own lane and shoot to the sky.
My style is not trendy by any means; my inner artists loves to shine through in my wardrobe.
You make your mark by being true to who you are and letting that be your staple.
My biggest style inspirations come from the '90s. I'm really inspired by TLC, Janet Jackson, and designers like Jeremy Scott. I'm hugely inspired by Club Kids from New York back in the '90s. I'm inspired by the drag queen scene. Combat boots and the torn off jeans and a baggy shirt - I love that look.
All the great artists had their dark sides. Look at Amy Winehouse or anyone who has achieved a certain level of success. Even Adele, and the people that you wouldn't put in the same category as a gangster rapper. These women have exposed their vulnerabilities, demons, and things that have hurt them.
On my days off, I love denim cut off shorts with gladiator sandals and crop tops.
I had racially prejudiced comments directed at me on different blogs. People think that just because you're in the spotlight, you're fair game. It's hard, and I don't think you're ready at any age for it. Thankfully, I have some great fans who got me through it.
I'm not somebody who's emotionally attached to an outcome of a character that I'm hired to play. The fans are.
I've always been involved with charities and things like that, but when I started communicating with the fans and hearing their stories about the lives they lead, it really made an impact on me.
I think sometimes when you want attention, you can wear sunglasses, and people are like, 'Who is that?'
I'm a smoky eye girl. I love playing with eye colors, metallics... fun stuff!
I don't want to be alone at 80 years old, dripping in diamonds - having never helped anyone. That's not my path. That's not what I care about. That's not what excites me.
'Blade' was amazing; I can't imagine the character without Wesley Snipes. He just made a long, black leather trench coat look so cool.
I completely took off my eyebrows one time for a screen test. I hadn't even gotten the role yet. So you have to have a commitment.
I'm all about high-waisted pants and skirts, pencil skirts, and sheer, long-sleeves in the summer.
To me, success is making a positive difference through art - making art that affects the world and that changes the way people feel about themselves and the world.
I have more of a desire to write songs about being an independent woman than being in love, songs about getting up and moving on even if I have a broken heart.
