I went to read once for the part of a girl who thought she was pregnant on ‘The Cosby Show.’ My girlfriend and I were reading the script outside of Bill’s office and we started making up our own characters. A writer heard us talking and told Bill about us. He had us do these new characters twice live on the rehearsals.

She has a quiet confidence. The only advice I ever gave her was probably bad advice, like ‘When they knock on your trailer and say you’re needed on the set now, that means you’ve got 5 minutes before you should go

It hasn’t hit me yet. I’ve gotten a few offers already, but I’m not eager to commit to anything yet. My main concern is not to get locked into one specific character.

Eddie makes me laugh and I’m very respectful of him. But the thought of the two of us having a romance is the biggest laugh between us.

Some day, I may go back to studying medicine. I always wanted to be an actress, but I never planned to be a model. So now when people ask me if this is a good time for black actresses or new actresses, I don’t have an answer.

What I know is I’ve gotten a great shot to have the career I always dreamed about and I’m going to take this golden opportunity to the outer limits.
