“I’m very much still on Housewives and besides that I’m sworn to secrecy. And no, I was not sent home or anything. No, you’re not going to send me home. I was not sent home nowhere. I was not sent home. I was not fired.”

“I have had eight or nine miscarriages. For three years, my body has been a prisoner of trying to get pregnant — I’ve either been about to go into an IVF cycle, in the middle of an IVF cycle, or coming out of an IVF cycle.”

“It’s not that she wasn’t a big fan of mine. We actually were friendly at one point and we hosted the Vibe Awards one year and I made a joke at her expense in front of the audience and ever since that moment, she felt a certain kind of way about me, and she really didn’t know my sense of humor, my sensibilities and who I was comedically, so she took offense to the joke and I didn’t know she was harboring those feelings until we sat down and had a conversation one day after I had cast her for Black-ish, and had I known she felt that way about me, I still would've cast her. So we’re sitting there and she’s telling me and I’m like, “Really? That affected you like that and you’ve been holding on to this for almost 10 years? Baby, I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Now, there’s nothing that she wouldn't do for me. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for her. We protect one another on and off the set and we have a great working relationship and an even better personal relationship outside of work.”

“I had no idea that that wasn’t my friend. I had no idea that the things that were coming out of her mouth, that she really felt that way. So, on top of everything negative that happened last year, that’s just one of the things that hurt me the most because when her brothers died, it really affected me… It’s not about reconciling. I think there’s another conversation that needs to be had.”

I mean, Shonda—she saw something nobody else was doing and said, “I’m going to create it myself. I’m going to put strong, powerful women of color in lead roles and create narratives for different types of people.” And she owns a day. She owns Thursdays. And then, Beyoncé. She took it to the next level with Lemonade. She’s got twins, and she’s banging. She’s killing it. And, of course, Michelle Obama, because that is an intelligent woman.

“I f*****g hate the charts, who are you to tell me if my music is good or bad.”

"It was a bit awkward because Taylor Swift and I had to present an award. We were walking through the crowd and obviously, there was a little beef between Taylor and Kanye. I didn't know any of this. But I was there! And I was, like, 'Oh, this is awks.'"

"I was not invited at all. I wasn't even contacted," the former child star told the publication…Shawn sent me a text two days before it was released. He asked if anyone contacted me, and he just wanted to let me know that EW contacted them to do a reunion cover. And he just didn't want me to be shocked when it came out."

"I don't know. For us, I think that it's all in love. We just have a lot of love for each other. A lot of years in it too. It brings us back to being on a certain page that we just can't keep running from. We can run from it for a minute and be like, 'Ugh, I'm through with him. I don't care nothing 'bout it.' But then love comes back and I'm like, 'Let's co-parent. Let me talk to you about this.'"

"How could she miss the shackles, chile? 'Cause that's how I feel with Donald Trump in office. They said she said, 'She related to his good Christian values.' But I say, sis, Puerto Rico been sitting in the dark for the past week with no water and no food. What's God-like and Christian-like about that?"

“Have I been in shock?! I'm the dad, come on. I’m scared to death, are you kidding me?”

“Yes, it’s just figuring out the right way to do that. I think so many other shows are doing a great job without feeling like it’s shoehorned and it fits in naturally. For us, it’s just about finding the most natural way. There’s so many topics we wanted to explore but, at the end of the day, we are just trying to tell a good story without anything feeling forced. It’s something I’d love to tackle. We almost did it this season but it didn’t fit within the story we were trying to tell. Hopefully, we’ll see what season three will hold.”

"I spent the whole day at the spa and when I got back to his house, there was a rose petal path from the front door to the bedroom. At the end was Chris, down on one knee. He had a bucket of KFC on the floor, and he was eating KFC potato wedges with one hand while holding a ring in the other."
