Success can make you go one of two ways. It can make you a prima donna - or it can smooth the edges take away the insecurities let the nice things come out.

Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears the mistrust the doubts the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box.

A lot of times black folks look for love in all the wrong places. You're always looking for somebody to love you be accepted and there's the insecurities that are even transmitted through rap. Everyone is trying to aim to please too much.

I think my securities far outweigh my insecurities. I am not nearly as afraid of myself and my imagination as I used to be.

We're very open and outspoken about our faith and our beliefs. We also talk about our doubts our moments of insecurities. We talk about it all day how we're inspired by God. We recognize little miracles every day and that's how we're raising our daughter.

I want my boys to have an understanding of people's emotions their insecurities people's distress and their hopes and dreams.

Everyone has their own insecurities regardless of how you look or how people perceive you but sometimes people give their insecurities too much power. Defining beauty is simply a matter of opinion. For me real beauty has very little to do with the structure of someone's face or body.

I decided to give acting a serious committed try and soon after I read the script for 'Lovely and Amazing.' The story was beautiful and honest and the characters struggled with the same insecurities many women - including me - face. I didn't think I had a chance in hell of being in the film but I knew I had to go for it.
