So Tae, tell the people, your fans, a little about yourself, because you know they are eager to hear. What in life brings you joy, sadness, excitement and fulfillment?
My family and friends are really important in my life.

Ok, we know you moonlight in the modeling world and successfully we may add, but your main career focus is acting. What is your ultimate goal as an actress?
To become a superstar!

Who are some of your acting influences/role models? Why?
Some actors and actresses I admire are Sanaa Lathan, Al Pacino, Robert Dinero, Denzel Washington, and Vivica Fox just to name a few.

We hear that you like to get a little physical in your spare time and are quite the athlete. What do you do in your spare time to keep your physique in such tip-top shape?
Since I like to eat, I have to work out which includes lots of cardio and light toning. I also play basketball and football with my friends.

Can you tell us one thing about yourself that tends to shock people once they get to know you personally?
My personality. When people see me, they assume I'm stuck up or too good but in reality, I'm a cool ass broad. I'm down to earth and goofy as hell. I love to laugh.

(LOL) Man, did we ever find that out! It was very refreshing to see too. Many of us fell in love with you via your feature roles on the Dru Hill 'I Should Be' & 'I Love You' videos as well as the Busta Rhymes/Mariah Carey video 'Give It To Me', which gained you a 2003 Vibe Magazine Video Vixen of the Year nomination. Congrats! Who are some of your other favorite musical artists and whom would you like to work with in the future on video projects?
I wouldn't mind working with Pharrel, 50, Tyrese and Usher. My music selections vary from jazz to rap to anything that makes me feel good.

You're also quite the fashion bug. Who are some of your favorite clothing designers? Why?
I like anyone from Gucci to Walmart to thrift stores. I don't have money to hire a "designer." (LOL) About Gucci, sometimes I can catch it on sale. Ha Ha!

Ok, here's a question for your adventurous side. If you could visit any place in the world, where would you go and why? Who would you take with you?
I've been to many places, so this s hard question. Maybe Rome. I love the old buildings. I would definitely want to experience Rome with my other half.

Ok Tae, you know we had to ask this for the fellas...what's sexy to you? What quality of a man sparks your interest?
Confidence attracts me. Not conceit, but confidence. I also love long eyelashes and a beautiful smile. Lips and teeth do something to me. (LOL) A cute body is sexy as hell with a nice round tush. Yeah buddy!

What's a 'must have' quality of a man for you? Why so important?
He must be funny, loyal, and have some damn common sense. A work ethic is a must. Above all things he must love God and be in love with me. Oh yeah, my dad says he has to have patience, whatever that means (LOL).

Where would you like to be in your acting career in the next 2 years?
I would like to be a common name.

Can you give some insightful advice or words of encouragement to other aspiring models & actresses like yourself on what they should do to succeed and protect themselves in this business?
Don't mix business with pleasure. You know what you are willing to do and won't do, so don't belittle yourself. Your success may not come fast enough but it will come. You will get rejected so don't think you're not good enough. And finally, always have a backup plan.
