I'm always fighting with profanity and Christian comedy. I'm telling you, it's always a fight. Because my father said to me, he said, 'Well, Kym, I feel like comics and people that use profanity, you have a lack of vocabulary, actually, a whole lot.'
I've always had an entourage. Even when I was a little kid, I had a lot of little children following around me.
Shaker Heights, Ohio is a predominately white neighborhood. It was when I moved in, and it still is.
My parents were funny. My brothers were funny. We just laughed and had a good time. Growing up, it breeds that. It breeds your funny. It breeds your creativity.
A woman is a woman. A woman has male problems, has job problems, and I think funny is funny.
The OWN network is all about inspiring and enlightening.
Of course I watch 'Life with La Toya' on OWN.
I am a different kind of celebrity; I don't have the big, giant house, the fancy cars, and all the designer stuff. I am just a girl from Cleveland.
I think the arts are absolutely necessary for children to be creative and express themselves because every child is different.
'College Road Trip' is colorless. It's not a black film. It's not a white film.
I love Cleveland, and I love going back home. That's where my family is. That's where my roots are.
When I first came to Los Angeles, I was a teacher in Compton. I know how in need schools are around the country.
Back in the day, we ate fresh; our parents cooked. Now, we're starting to think things are fresh because they're in a can, they're in a box, or they're frozen. That's not fresh. It's difficult to get real fresh.
Carrying envy makes life more difficult.
It is a challenge trying not to give in to pleasing other people.
It doesn't matter if a child comes to you or through you. That love is still the same. You are still a mother.
I saw Nichelle Nichols in 'Truck Turner,' and she was so good.
Voice work is the best - no need to dress up, no audience, no pressure, nobody's judging you.
I encourage people to get a village so that there will always be someone who's like family looking out for your child.
As an actress, our hours can be grueling, and like any mother that has a career or job, it is difficult. Balancing spending time with your child in the morning and after they come home from daycare/school before is the key.
