Being perfect is being flawed, accepting it, and never letting it make you feel less than your best.

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.

Love is ever evolving and it takes compromise, work and patience.

I don't really have a problem with just wanting sex. Never have. Even when I was a virgin and wanted to marry the first guy who I slept with, I never passed any judgments about that. But now I'm done [with dating around].

I get self-conscious, but you have to just embrace it and go with it.

I didn't really [seriously] go out with any guys until I was 18 and met my ex-fiancé, Michael Weatherly.

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