Growing up, I stayed in a child's place. My father was murdered when I was 20. I was a model and never had a real job and my parents took care of me.

I've got girlfriends who call me 'Raye' or 'L. Raye', but when somebody calls me 'Lisa', it's like, 'You've got two more times to say that and then I think you're disrespecting me and I'm going to have to cut you!'

I am such a vacation girl. I have little places that I go to frequently! If I am not too busy on a weekend, I try to go someplace like Mexico or Manzanillo or something like that.

Some men are afraid of women who challenge them and demand respect and answers. That's who I am and will always be.

True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Loyalty is one of the qualities in a friend that I value most.

If I'm right, the only reason our species is still around is because of our friendship with the canines.

I'm such a theater geek. Most of my friends are in this community, and it's really important for me to keep doing it. It takes the ego out of acting, whereas movies tend to involve it.
