There are very few films or plays or anything about really happy people with perfect lives.

One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country.

I'm drawn to doing interesting stuff at work. And some of the time with the supernatural, you get to do really crazy, fun things. But I'm not a big genre-fantasy gal, particularly.

I work out like a maniac and I spray tan a lot. Genetics were kind, but I work very hard.

I don't know when acting came to be more about awards than about the work. Judging who's better than the other person shouldn't be part of why we're doing this job. It should be about entertaining people.

Maybe I'm misjudging people, but I feel like a lot of people still have an image of me in a bonnet at nine years old.

I think any time you take on touchy subjects, you're going to offend some people, or you're going to please others.
