Quickie With Sanaa Lathan – Food & Insecurties • 10.15.08

Sanaa Lathan is every Black man’s dream, but I’m sure people have no idea what are her thoughts on relationships and love. She sat down with Complex and spoke about a few things.
on Men who can cook
That’s not an issue for me, because I can burn in the kitchen—meaning “burn” as a good thing. [Laughs.] I can cook my ass off. I grew up with a father whose hobby was cooking, so I always saw it as a masculine thing. If I didn’t like to cook, and a guy looked at me and said, “You can’t cook, so I don’t like you,” I would look at him and say the same thing back.
on Insecure Men
If you’re insecure, you’re going to have trouble trusting your woman going to her 9-to-5 job—men are everywhere. If you look at statistics, women are cheating almost as much as men. So it has nothing to do with being an actress. [Laughs.] I’m a big believer of not living by your fears. What you fear, you attract, in every aspect of life.
