I like to cook. I would probably go to culinary school in France if I had time.

I don't hang out with the Hollywood cool people. I'm not out trying to make friends with people because they're famous.

I never fit in with my peer group. I never hung out with kids my age - I always wanted to hang out with my mom and her girlfriends.

I love acting because it's this space where dreams can be realized, fantasy comes to life, and there are no limitations on what's possible.

Find your passion and do it totally. The more life experience you get, the better you'll be at whatever you want to do.

I bizarrely think that this [Sin City] is the perfect date movie. If a guy took me on a date to see this movie, I would marry him, for sure. It's bad-ass chicks and rad dudes, who are sexy, all over the place, and there's so much cool action.

I think the world is ready for people of color to take on more heroic and leading roles, and not always be the sidekick, the nemesis or any sort of stereotype of what a person of color can play typically in a Hollywood picture.
