I will not marry again. There is no need.

I won't have a traditional marriage; I don't find the value in that anymore. But I am such a hopeless romantic and I really want love and I want a committed relationship, so I am going to reinvent marriage for myself.

If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.

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.

Blackness is a state of mind and I identify with the black community. Mainly, because I realized, early on, when I walk into a room, people see a black woman, they don't see a white women. So out of that reason alone, I identify more with the black community.

My whole life I've had the fear that I was going to be abandoned.

It gave me strength and toughness because I had to face reality, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was.
