There are people who do what they believe is right, but as they say, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions.' ”

I'm obsessed with eyeliner - the darker and kohl-ier, the better. ”

Sometimes people just need to feel heard, and being an actor has taught me to really listen. ”

Being on a show with a female lead is amazing for me. I love that. ”

I majored in theater, so I'd love to get back on a stage. ”

To relax, I love sitting back and turning my brain off and watching TV. ”

When I was younger, it was harder for me to find a black eyeliner that would actually show up on my skin. Being a dark-skinned woman, when you find something that actually shows up on your face, you love it even more. ”

I love Haagen Daaz Caramel Cone, or the Ben and Jerry's Strawberry Cheesecake. Pairs well with anything. ”

I think it's well-known that I love all things ABC and Shonda Rhimes - I'm a huge 'Scandal' and 'Grey's Anatomy' fan. ”

It's such a big deal, the notion that these enslaved Africans had marriages and children... because therein lies our humanity, our capacity for love. ”
