Hey, I'm a girl, and we like to play dress-up.

You always have this fear in a movie of just being somebody's woman.

I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I don't want to be anything other than what we are. I want to just be a woman.

I think since I did Monster I really started understanding how hard it is for first time directors. I think there's a lot of great stories out there, but it's high risk.

I hate actors who come and quote Nietzsche.

Other than vaccines and finding a cure, most funding goes toward putting people on treatment. That's completely valid and I understand that, but it's never how we're going to stop AIDS.

I can only hope to be 10 percent of the mom mine was to me. She encouraged me to be confident and enjoy life. That's what I want for my son.
