spread for PYNK magazine with a "Goodbye New York" theme.

extra excited about her new position over at "Entertainment
Tonight." So Hondurian-born Rocsi
Diaz rocked a photoshoot around New York City in spots that a so NY...all in a
bid to say goodbye to the city she lived in for years while hosting "106
& Park."
Highlights
from her interview:
You have
moved on from BET. How do you feel?
I am very
excited because BET was a great chapter in my life and I loved every minute of
it, but I am looking forward to the next chapter.
Did you
always want a career in entertainment?
No - not at
all. Every little girl dreams about being an actress one day or something like
that but I was the complete opposite. I wanted to be a whale trainer and swim
with them and everything. It wasn’t until college that I became interested in
entertainment and radio.
What can
people expect from Rocsi in the future?
There are a
lot of things going on, I am writing a script. I have the first one done and I
am so excited.
What drives
you?
My desire to
be successful and be able to support my family - and also make a mark in this
industry. That is what drives me.
In 10 years,
where do you see yourself?
Honestly, I
see myself being very successful and I plan on having a family one day while
continually working.
What’s on
your bucket list?
More
traveling, having my own star on the Walk of Fame and winning an Emmy or an
Oscar.
To date,
what is your favorite on screen moment?
I have a big
crush on Lenny Kravitz. On 106 & Park, he gave me a shout out on video for
my birthday. I was really touched.
Favorite
celebrity interview?
Madonna -
there is no need to explain that.
Who are some
of your mentors in the industry, or just successful women you look up to?
The number
one person I look up to is my mother - she has always been my role model and
supporter. As far as women in the industry, there are strong women like
Jennifer Lopez, Lauren Whitaker, and Tyra Banks that I admire.
In terms of
advice for young women who want a career in entertainment, what can you offer
them?
Know what
you are getting yourself into, have a thick skin, and be prepared that someone
will judge you for being a woman. Make sure you know your craft well and do not
let anyone second guess your work.
Is there
anyone in the industry you are really close to?
Throughout
the years, I have been able to become friends with a lot of people in the
industry like Lala Anthony, Gabrielle Union, Tyrese, and Ludacris. They were my
friends from my radio days before BET.
Let’s talk
about love and relationships. Do you think it is harder to date men in the
industry or a regular guy?
Both have
advantages and disadvantages. Some people want to date someone in the industry because
that person will understand the day-to- day. Sometimes, you might want a
regular guy because it will help maintain a certain sense of privacy. To each
her own, really.
Do you think
it’s hard to date when you’re a celebrity?
I think guys
will be intimidated when you are in this industry. So for me it is very hard.
How would
you describe your style?
My style is
casual chic, I like to pair jeans and t-shirts with amazing heels. If I am
attending a special event, I like to keep it very lady-like.
Who’s your
favorite shoe designer?
Christian
Louboutin.
Where are
your favorite places to shop?
