I wasn't that into it or that knowledgeable of fashion until I started working on 'True Jackson.'

Keke Palmer Quotes 1254953

Keke Palmer Quotes 1248614

The type of movies that give me the heebie jeebies are thrillers, because anything that's playing with your thoughts and mind, that's scary. But one thing that they never do in horror movies that I always do is I pray. You never see them pray in horror movies. — Keke Palmer

Keke Palmer Quotes 859433

I went to private school for a very long time, and we always wore uniforms. Then in third grade, I switched to a public school, so I was so excited to wear what I wanted on the first day.

Keke Palmer Quotes 797370

There's not always going to be something out there for you, especially not a positive role, so once you get up there and start being well known, you can't just think projects will come to you.

Keke Palmer Quotes 762961
