I am so grateful that Rickey Smiley gave me the opportunity to do his morning show and ecstatic to be a part of the 'Dish Nation' family.

I'm grateful that I've matured and that I've gained that wisdom to be a better person, a better actress, a better musician and a better entertainer overall.

It's so different when you get a second chance to come back out and do your thing - you're more humble, you appreciate it more, you know what not to do this second time around.

There was a young Black officer that I heard rumors that he had said stuff like, 'Oh I'll lock her down, I don't give a damn who she is.' I was so mad when he finally locked me down because it was for no reason.

It's OK to make mistakes. Just try not to make the same mistakes over.

If I can inspire someone or help somebody to deal with their issues and their sexuality, then I'm here for it.
