“I’m not a problem. I don’t walk into any set being a problem. I would be an absolute fool walking on any set being a problem. When I worked on ‘Glee’, ‘The New Normal’, ‘Dancing With the Stars’, Zumanity and any of the other s— you’ve seen me on — they ask, ‘Do you need anything?’ and I say no. I do not need breakfast, I do not need lunch, I do not need dinner. The only thing I need is my check when we finish working! I bring my own breakfast, my own lunch, and my own dinner. When I leave, I just need my check deposited on the day you said it would be deposited on. You can get all the directors and heads of production companies to vouch for that.
“The fact that I keep getting these jobs says something. They could’ve kept anyone on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” as long as I’ve been on — they could’ve kept Sheree, they could’ve kept Kim, the could’ve kept anybody…but they kept me. Why did Ryan Murphy take me over from ‘Glee’ to ‘The New Normal’? Tell me that.
“Out of all the women in the franchise, why did HSN choose to do a line with NeNe Leakes? Tell me that. People wouldn’t continue to work with me if I was as unprofessional as people make it seem.”
