Actors are pulled in so many different directions that unless you both are absolutely into it through thick and thin and completely sure about each other, it's just hard. I've decided I'll never date an actor again.

I don't put weight on fame, and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.

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

When I was young, I loved black men.

It's been liberating to be able to play someone who's a bada– or promiscuous, because that's the opposite of who I am … It's like a drug.

People are unbelievably giving and caring and understanding of me because of what I do for a living and because actors tend to get their asses kissed everywhere they go, so I can be extra-understanding in a relationship.

The time I'm not spending with my kid has to be worth it.
