I don't like everybody who I see on TV.

I just worry about the girls who look up to me. I don't want them to think I starve myself or don't eat, and that to be like me that's what they have to do.

Learning about the way people process information and their emotions is hugely helpful to my work.

For me, being able to work with somebody who I don't have to translate my experience to all the time - that's important, because I'm not ­having to walk someone down the path of racial understanding to tell a story about a woman of color.

Where I come from, you don't just say, 'Oh, I'm going to become an actor.' Talk like that and they think you're crazy.

Let's play a game of whose life sucks worse ... I'll win, I always win.

Happiness is not that easy to achieve, but having a handsome husband, a beautiful baby, and a great job helps.
