I won't be able to do what I'm doing forever. There aren't that many scripts floating around for fifty-year-old chicks.

I've never compromised who I am not ever. If I've gotten anywhere in my life it's been on my own merits.

I only answer to two people, myself and God.

There's not someone who tells you how adorable you are and rubs your head and goes into a crowded press conference and stands at the back and winks at you so that you think, 'I can get through this.'

When you stop trying to find the right man and start becoming the right woman, the right man will find his way to you.

If you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

If you're black in this country, if you're a woman in this country, if you are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican?
