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

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.

In Monster's Ball I went nude, which was scary, but I took the chance and that's how I like to approach my career.

When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner.

Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother.

My pregnancy was amazing. I was happy that whole time, I felt good, I had energy, I was like Superwoman. I wish I could feel like that for the rest of my life, that's how fantastic it was.

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