I'm really into nutrition from the inside out.

I have friends struggling with autism, juvenile diabetes.

I love the theater. I love being on stage; I love the live audience. I also love dressing up and all of the make-believe.

I did everything pretty cliche as an actor in New York. I read the trades, I sent out 'head shots.'

Hair is an issue for most women, and after washing, blow-drying, flat-ironing, curling, braiding, twisting and spending the time and money on it, who wants to mess it up by sweating and having to do it all over again?

I'm kind of floating out there as an artist. I'm in a safe place where I can play a girlfriend or a best friend or a mommy or a lawyer, but a huge part of me is unused. I'm classically trained, historically inclined and somewhat revolutionary by nature, so I'm frustrated as an artist.

Honestly, working with Eddie Murphy was mind-blowing just in terms of the budget alone. To see the respect he commands, to witness his presence, you understand why he and people like Martin Lawrence are stars.
