You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb, it's kind of what these movies are all about.

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.

When I think, where did I laugh the most, where did I eat the most, where did I just feel good all the time, I would say making the Bond movie 'Die Another Day.' To be part of such an iconic franchise and to travel to exotic places - that was the most fun I ever had.

I'm not sad at all about turning 40.

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

If you set out to do something and you give it your all and it doesn't work out, be willing to modify your goal slightly. Have the ability to look in another direction. A small shift could guide you to the real purposes of your life.

I think it's always best to be who you are.
