I guess you could say I have bad taste in men. But I no longer feel the need to be someone's wife.

To make lips look naturally pink, I put on red lipstick, wipe it off, and then apply clear gloss.

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

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

While being called beautiful is extremely flattering, I would much rather be noticed for my work as an actress.

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.

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.'
