“We’re definitely taking it day by day. Everybody’s really just leaning on each other and trying to do good work.”

On following in Jennifer Lopez’s footsteps:
“It’s insane how gorgeous she is. Jennifer Lopez is a perfect example of what it means to be a mogul and have longevity, but still have people like you. She can do this until she chooses not to anymore. I hope I can say that one day.”
On breaking down boundaries in the industry:
"When people look at me, I genuinely think they don’t see me as anything other than Naya which is crazy and so cool. I feel like I've gotten to a place where I have transcended color lines and it’s a big testament to playing a lesbian character on TV because everyone’s so accepting of everything and I think that’s beautiful."
