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've always loved the pomp and circumstance of dressing up; the pagenatry and all of the glamour of Hollywood.

I know that I will never find my father in any other man who comes into my life, because it is a void in my life that can only be filled by him.

Facials are my biggest beauty indulgence. Looking good is about having a good base. It's about taking care of your skin.

I guess you could say I have bad taste in men. But I no longer feel the need to be someone's wife.

I've always thought that when anyone receives an award for acting they should always thank their fellow actors, because the only way you're going to deliver your best performance is when you have other good actors on the set supporting you and being very present for you even when the camera is not on them.

I'm learning to accept the lack of privacy as the real downer in my profession.
