I had not starred in an independent film and it's about a woman who owned a hair salon.

But a true diva has dismissed that drama. A true diva's heart is open, and she's ready to play by her own rules - rules that are gentle and kind.

A diva is someone who pretends to know who she is and looks fabulous doing it.

You think you can go into all those auditions not knowing who you are? The work came after I found my sense of self - when I wasn't so manic and desperate.

Whoopi and I have been friends ever since she claimed she couldn't sing on the set of Sister Act.

I don't have any beauty shop memories. I remember the barber shop.

You never know when you start a project just how good it can be.
