I am so ready to be a mommy. I can't wait. I notice every little baby dress, every little baby toy, every little baby thing.

I used to have to downplay my sexuality because I wanted to be taken so seriously as a thespian and as an artist and as an actor, so I'd play crack heads and down trotting women and disguise myself, and I think as I've gotten older, I become more comfortable with who I really am and all parts of me knowing that my physical self doesn't diminish me in any way or my talent.

I archive a lot of my clothes and have them wrapped up and in boxes. I call them 'little tombs' and keep them in a storage space... I would never get rid of the dress I wore on the night I won my Oscar. When I die, someone can have it, but not a minute before!

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.

After my divorce, I was struggling to find my own voice. Through reading, I gained my power back.

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

I realize as you age the less makeup you wear the younger you look.
