I meditate and pray all the time. The faith and respect that I have in the power of God in my life is what I've used to keep myself grounded, and it has allowed me to move away from the storms that were in my life.

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'm a much better mother at 46... than if I were like, 21 or 25.

I like Doritos. I'm usually watching 'The Biggest Loser' eating Doritos.

My partner is a Frenchman, so I have got to smell right.

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

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