Keke Palmer talks dating: 'All you need is love'

NEW YORK, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Keke Palmer says her philosophy on life is that love is "everything."

The 21-year-old Just Keke host and Broadway Cinderella star dated Rodney King for two years, and has recently been linked to actor Quincy Brown and rapper Meek Mill. Palmer opened up about relationships in an interview with NewYork.com, and shared the pros and cons of dating other celebrities.

"The biggest con about dating a celebrity is that everybody wants to be in our business," the actress related. "The pros are that I have somebody that is interested in the same things that I'm interested in, I have somebody that knows what I go through. I have somebody that can help think of ideas that can help inspire me. And not having somebody intimidated by my success, and hopefully they're doing their thing, too."

"At 21, my philosophy on life is that love is everything and all you need is love," she continued. "That's very me. I try to be positive in everything that I do and I try to be loving to others, and I truly believe that the energy you put out there is what you manifest around you."

Palmer admitted Barbershop actor Michael Ealy is one of her celebrity crushes, but declined to name any others. The actress made her debut on Broadway in Cinderella this week, and will appear in Brotherly Love later this year.
