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.

I get all these screenplays that start 'Tawnya is in the shower. The water streams down her naked, perky breasts'. I don't think this is happening to Natalie Portman.

I am the good girl and I always play the good girl. It's nice to do that.

Way too high maintenance to be in a relationship with an actor. I don't need a man who spends as much time in front of the mirror as me.

I can seriously spend five hours making one dinner.

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.

Your husband or your wife is the only person you can really choose to be your family and to have unconditional love with them.
