I was very athletic when I was younger and I am a very competitive person, so I never give up.

I was the good Bond girl, but I wanted to have the dresses and the high heels. I wanted the funky, sexy name.

I've always been comfortable with my sexual desires and what I like.

I had a flight trainer who is one of the biggest and most famous helicopter pilots the world.

One feels very blessed to be born into a family like the Birla family, which is a household name in India, which stands for tradition, is yet contemporary, stands for trust.

My family's support and the negative environment of the day toward blacks in South Carolina became the forces that led me out of the South - first to New York, then to Philadelphia, where I found opportunity in the form of a PAL gym and my trainer, Yank Durham.

I believe what makes Black Lightning different from other superhero shows and other superheroes is that he's really, really family-oriented. You get to see his entire family as well as his daughters being superheroes and diving into that universe.

Family are the people that can hurt you the most.
