What’s your greatest fear?
Getting fat, because I eat so much. All day. I’m a small guy and I eat like it’s nobody’s business. I’ll eat a full-course meal and then, five minutes later, be the one to say, ”Let’s get a burger or something.”

Pick three people, living or dead, who you think would make the most fascinating dinner guests imaginable.
Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and my dad.

What would you serve?
I’d serve 12 oz. sirloin steaks, macaroni and cheese, corn, cornbread and a side of wine. Let’s do Moscato.

How would you describe your dream guy?
He’d be tall – 5’11” or taller – smart, sexy, light-skinned and intelligent. He’d have to be a ”grown-ass man” who does his own thing.

Define good in bed.
A little candlelight with some mood lighting and mirrors.

Who should star in a movie about your life?
Kevin Hart.

Who was your first celebrity crush?
Will Smith. From his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air days.

Who gets on your nerves?
My favorite cousin and my sister, because my sister acts like a gay male and my cousin has a smart mouth on her.
