What's interesting is that producers, directors and writers tend to typecast me in terms of whatever movie they've seen me in most recently.

After Halle Berry does her films and Queen Latifah does her films, it's left to all the black, Latino and Asian actresses to fight over a couple of roles. I opted for some TV. There's just not a ton of work in film.

You want to come home to a nice firm bed with the corners tucked in so you start over, like each night is like a new night.

If we can have drones, we can have brown people on TV, and the world won't end! We need to catch up. We are painfully behind.
