My mom. Growing up with her, she always taught us to say whatever. Like, 'You think something, say it. Don't bite your tongue for people.' I think there's a fine line with that, but at the same time, I'm a firm believer in speaking your mind.

There is no chip coming off of my shoulder because, at the end of the day, you're still going to continue to be doubted.

I'm going to be more critical of myself than anyone could ever be.

I know what hard times are like. I didn't grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth. I've had struggles.

I always wanted to be a chef. Flavors and food were always of interest to me, but it was how those things brought friends and family together to celebrate not only the special occasions but everyday life. It has been a blessing that I have been able to pursue a career that creates a product that brings people together.

Bey is a big sister; she's a huge supporter. I mean, the whole Destiny's Child family - Kelly and Michelle - they've always been great supporters of mine in all my endeavors.

A fellow oughtn't to let his family property go to pieces.

You spend five months filming in outer space and saving the world, and suddenly that kind of family unit and story disappears, and you come crashing back down to Earth, and you have to do your own washing... and most actors are insecure that the last job they did will be their last job ever.
