Sometimes it's not even a role that's specifically written for a woman. It could be a role written for a white man or Asian man, or Latino. If it's something that I feel I could do well, I go after it. Especially if it's nothing that has to be gender or race specific, I'm all over it.

I date, but the person I date most is myself, unfortunately.

Hollywood panders to the 18-to-34 crowd. That demographic doesn't care about race and the package it comes in. They care about the hottest chick. They just like hot chicks.

Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you.

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.

If someone lacked decency or respect, I didn't allow that person to stay in my world.

In Hollywood, you play a mom, and the next thing you know, you're on 'The Golden Girls.' They age you so fast.
