M.C.: Definitely. To be honest, many of the celebrities want their home life and what they do off-set to be public because people feel strongly that there is no such thing as bad publicity, in other words, any publicity is good publicity. I’ve always wanted in my life that my private life and work to be public.

Essence.com: You have a daughter, 9, and son, 10. Did any of them been bitten by the bug of interpretation?

My daughter is expressing interest, but she is too young. This industry is hard for adults to treat, let alone children, so she’ll have to wait until he’s done with high school before I really let her continue.
