"Empire" Season 2: Taraji P. Henson Teases Love Interests, Flashbacks, and More5 of 6
IMDb: When fans meet you, do they expect you to be just like Cookie?
TPH: Usually, they hit me, "Hey, girl!" I'm like, “Oww. Don't touch me.” And they call me “Cookie.” And it's like, that's not my name. Yeah, it's funny. People really think that I'm her. Like I'm not a fur girl, I'm a PETA girl. I don't wear fur! So a lot of things like selling drugs — I think selling drugs is a horrible thing! I'm not trying to go to prison [laughs].
