NeNe Leakes

My first film was with Cuba Gooding Jr, 'The Fighting Temptations,' and I had a little part here and there on little shows as guest stars. And I've taken acting classes.

Not only did I come out as a reality star that was very boisterous and vivacious and outspoken and all those things. I flipped that into money and respect. And a lot of people can't do that.

I like the Kardashians. I'm a fan. I watch their show.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
