I truly have a village supporting me. My son has godmothers, godfathers, grandparents and so many others in his life who love him as much as I do. They're there for both of us. I may not have a mate or husband, but I'm definitely not a single parent.

I think, as an artist, you have to have experienced some deep turmoil, some kind of pain, because that's what connects you with the world. That's what makes it juicy!

All you ever really want is a great character and great writing. As an actor, that's the juiciest sandwich you could ever ask for.

I do want love. Genuine love.

A lot of the girls I grew up with were pregnant by the time they were 16. I just was lucky.

I'm a girl who enjoys a great meal with great friends, so I'm not really that concerned about weight loss.

I see myself being a great-grandmother at my great-grandson's graduation from a school that has my name on it.
