I wasn't the biggest hip-hop fan, because I had to listen to whatever my parents listened to, so growing up, it was a lot of Dolly Parton, Elvis, and Whitney Houston. When they finally put a TV in my room and I got to listen to MTV Jams I was like: 'Here I am!'

Words do cut, and they do hurt. It was one thing growing up where you were bullied, but you'd just come home. Now you can't really escape it. It's to a point where you turn off that phone, you live your life, and you try not to let the words of others offend or stop you from being you and living your life.

Growing up was very interesting for me. If you were Haitian, people just automatically assumed that English was a second language. So they had a special class for my brother and I, but we spoke proper English.

Growing up in America, even in the rougher parts of Elizabeth, I had two nice playgrounds to choose from as a child.

I never sold any of my pieces. I had all the money I wanted. Then I would have lost my sculptures and just had more money.

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

There are so many young women in film school right now, and it's just about foreign sales companies, domestic sales companies agreeing to finance films directed by and starring women.

I'm E Money because I'm money when it counts. Not sure exactly where or when it started, but I was called it in softball, too.
