- Despite playing her mother in Tina (1993), Lewis is just one year older than Angela Bassett.

- A diva is someone who pretends to know who she is and looks fabulous doing it.
- You think you can go into all those auditions not knowing who you are? The work came after I found my sense of self - when I wasn't so manic and desperate.
- You are a black goddess when you come out the salon.
- But a true diva has dismissed that drama. A true diva's heart is open, and she's ready to play by her own rules - rules that are gentle and kind.
- I don't have any beauty shop memories. I remember the barber shop.
