Who’s your greatest influence?
My mother. She’s my biggest influence, my biggest support net.

What’s your greatest fear?
Being elderly, because I see how people disregard or disrespect them. I don’t want to be put in that position.

Pick three people, living or dead, who you think would make the most fascinating dinner guests imaginable.
Beyoncé, Maya Angelou and Whitney Houston.

What would you serve?
They all seem like people who are down-home and such. I’d probably just fry up some chicken. That’s my favorite food anyway.

How would you describe your dream guy?
I don’t really have a dream guy. I don’t want to limit myself with unrealistic expectations.

Define good in bed.
Completely, 100 percent versatile. It’s more fun when there are no limitations.

Who should star in a movie about your life?
T.I.

Who was your first celebrity crush?
LL Cool J.
