Keke Palmer Poses For 'W' , Says she is not scared of Spotlight

Keke Palmer is on fire these days and we often wonder how the talented twenty something holds down all of her responsibilities.

The Scream Queens star recently posed for W Magazine read after the cut to what she has to say...

“I don’t really have time for myself,” says Keke, who made her acting debut at age nine in Barbershop 2: Back in Business, with a smile. After that came her breakout role as Akeelah in Akeelah and the Bee.Now, at the age of 22, she’s one of the stars of Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens, which premieres September 22nd on FOX.

“My work is my life,” Keke says. “I’ve worked so much that I don’t know the difference between my personal life and my work, or my personal friends and my work friends.” In addition to Scream Queens, she’s also juggling the release of her second album and working her own talk show, “Just Keke,” which premiered last year on BET, making her the youngest talk show host in television history.

So, how does she do it? “I’ve done a lot of meditation studying on my own, but I’ve also taken a couple of transcendence classes,” Keke says, talking a mile a minute with a Midwest accent, a testament to her childhood in Illinois. “I do twenty minutes [of meditation] in the morning and twenty minutes in the afternoon. It clears my mind and allows me to be ready for the next thing, without getting so compact that my mind goes into overload.”

Being on Broadway was a real challenge, (Keke admits to having forgotten her lines once or twice), but in a good way. “Broadway was life changing because it pushes you mentally, physically, emotionally—every way that you can be pushed,” she says. “It makes you feel like there’s nothing you can’t do. It’s like doing your own stunts.”
