I try to stay off the Internet. Just because people hurt my feelings sometimes.

I don't think my brand of self-confidence and self-assuredness can come from an outside source. It's got to come from me.

One of my favorite - well, my favorite, favorite, absolute favorite event to go to is Alfre Woodard has a party that I call the blacktress party. It's, like, black actresses that either have been nominated for an Oscar or should have been, and it sort of is just a night where we all get in a room and we get to celebrate each other.

It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.

If you're writing on your own, each character is just you. It's just you.

I'm really, really interested in the job of acting. I can really care less about being famous. I'm more about the work, and 'The Big C' was amazing, so I wanted to be a part of it.

I love the way I look. I'm fine with it. And if my body changes, I'll be fine with that.
