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

Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.

I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right. I don't think I'm unlike a lot of people. I am just someone who is trying to find that mate, and I think it's a really hard thing to do. And I'm not willing to stay somewhere where I am really not happy. And I am not willing to pretend I am for the kid's sake or so that I don't have to go through another public humiliation.

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

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.

Here's the thing - you can't be careful about what you pick because what looks like on paper is going to be a great script has often turned out to be a disaster, so there's no way to know what's going to work or to pick the right thing.

Any time you risk big you often risk losing big. You can win big but you can also lose big, but you have to be willing to take those risks.
