I think if we open ourselves to all different kinds of men and all groups, we find a lot more opportunities to love.

But I prefer to go to comedies. Give me Julia Roberts smiling anyday.

Boys are so much drama.

Hollywood needs to recognise all shades of African American beauty.

I was always in the popular crowd, but I really had atrocious teeth. I was encouraged to 'do well in school, 'cause no one's going to marry you!'

I just thought acting would be something to help out with my student loans, but my first year as an actress, I made more money than my parents. That's when I realized it could turn into a career. After that, I put everything I had into it.

I'm competing with everyone, but it's okay because they're not aware. I can't shut that impulse off. And I'm glad, because that impulse keeps me on the treadmill. If I didn't have it, I would be like, "Great! Ten minutes! I'm good." But if I'm competing, I can see what level someone's on and I can top it.
