I am my best self when I have super short hair. That’s when I feel most like me and most confidant.

I know I'm only one human being and I'm only making one tiny contribution and it's nothing more than that.

The first step is clearly defining what it is you're after, because without knowing that, you'll never get it.

I didn't think it was possible at my age, honestly. They call it a geriatric pregnancy.

I've pretty much learned I can let that [being black] hinder me if I want to ... or I can fight for different kinds of roles.

I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.

I see women in their 30s getting plastic surgery, pulling this up and tucking that back. It's like a slippery slope - once you start you pull one thing one way and then you think, 'Oh my God, I've got to do the other side.'
