I'm comfortable looking sexy. I don't push it with poses, although I like the ironic part of it. That's what makes it fun.

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.

My parents were young and liberal and knew I was going to drink anyway, so they let me do it at home.

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

When I was young, I loved black men.

Success takes communication, collaboration and, sometimes, failure.

If I didn't get a job, between 16 and 18, that wasn't significant, I was just going to go to college. I didn't want to be a struggling actor at 36 with five kids, doing something I hated. You see the story so much. It's such a vicious business to be in when you're not meant to be in it.
