What's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.

I do not love to work out, but if I stick to exercising every day and put the right things in my mouth, then my diabetes just stays in check.

I didn't think it was possible at my age, honestly. They call it a geriatric pregnancy.

I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.

I can't imagine my life without animals. I have two dogs and three cats. Coming home and finding them all lined up at the door waiting for me has got to be one of the sweetest joys of my life.

What's hardest for me to swallow is when there is a love story, say, with a really high-profile male star and there's no reason I can't play the part. They say, 'Oh, we love Halle, we just don't want to go black with this part.'

I carried my Oscar to bed with me. My first and only three-way happened that night.
