I've seen people talk about how they stopped polio, that was a generation that came together and said, "Let's do this." I think in the AIDS community we've become so complacent in that, it's like we just plateaued... We've completely neglected a whole young generation that is now highly infected.

Actors - we're selfish, but we can't think about the work in that kind of selfish manner. I think that you have to step away from yourself, if you're going to do it. Otherwise don't do it; otherwise why do it?

I do not think that condemning people who murder and killing them necessarily sends out the right message.

I've never been the kind of actress that just likes to show up and say my lines. I'm fascinated by what the crew does.

I have OCD, which is not fun. I have to be incredibly tidy and organized or it messes with my mind and switches off on me.

If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.

Too many people have died so unnecessarily; AIDS is completely preventable, yet it's killing more kids in South Africa then everything else, and that's just not how it should be.
