Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.

I came from the Bronx and a certain background. I worked really hard. I kept my focus on the right things.

I just think that the whole diva thing is a misrepresentation of who I am.

I'm passionate, I'm driven at my job and I also am compassionate with people. We all think we can save somebody that we love.

I think with romantic comedies it's a lot about tone, because different romantic comedies have different tones.

People used to believe their life--or at least their life as a performer--was over at 28 or some ungodly age! God, when I think of myself back then, I had no idea who I was. I think I'm barely getting that under control now.

It's a real roller-coaster ride if you're lucky to have longevity in this business - you have to be able to ride those waves.
