If you knew my life and understood where I came from, you would agree that Auntie Anne's, Inc. is a modern day business miracle.
Music is something I must do, business is something I need to do, and Africa is something I have to do. That's the way it breaks down in my life.
But then, you know, I'm very happy, I've got to this stage in my life and I'm not dead. I haven't got married and divorced and done all that palimony business, you know all that mess.
I got into this business because I like acting and I want to make movies. I would be happy living the rest of my life never famous.
Love has always been the most important business in my life, I should say the only one.
My life experience has taught me nothing happens by chance. Even the idea of the ball in a roulette game: it's not chance it ends up in a certain place. It's forces that are at play.
To me, the stand up part in my life is great. I know I can do that. When I get an acting chance, I'm really thrilled.
I was born accidentally. I lived accidentally in London. We nearly migrated to New Zealand. So much of my life has been a product of chance, I can't see a meaning in it at all.
Everything I have experienced in my life helps form who I am today, and I would not change or forget any of it.
I wouldn't change one thing about my professional life, and I make it a point not to dwell on my mistakes.
I am privileged to do a job I love to do. I would never change any moment from my life.
Liverpool is a fundamental part of my life. They don't remember me that way, but time will change that. I could not have chosen a better place to go when I left Atletico.
I got very depressed. Hollywood can be a terrible place when you're depressed. The pits. I decided I had to change my life and do different things.
I never have time to myself; it's the one thing about my life I would probably hope to change.
I've always been a pretty private, quiet kind of person and so I haven't had to change my life really at all, I don't think.
Obviously, exercise is an important part of my life, and I think taking care of yourself is an important part of every individual's health care.
I had done theater during high school and college, but with my life and everything I had going on, I decided to go for the health field, where there were stable jobs.
I was having health issues all my life. You're just not conditioned to think of them as health issues.
I was schooled at home, then didn't go to university because I married when I was 17. I didn't go into work until late in my life.
I hope to do multiple characters throughout my life that are separate from me. I think it's a cop-out if you play yourself in everything.
As an African American actress, there are people who have been staples in my life that opened a door that I can walk through. I hope that I can have that impact.
