I chose a sunflower because when darkness descends they close up to regenerate. But I really wish I'd never had the tattoo in the first place. Clean, clear skin is always better.

When you have short hair, there's just a feeling of here I am. What you see is what you get. And there's a confidence that comes with wearing short hair and I like the way that makes me feel.

While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.

Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.

I think my feet are my sexiest body part. People I find really sexy include Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and my mum.

I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood, so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else, or as smart, or whatever.

I love a character that gives me a chance to grow and do something different.
