I want to find things that challenge me.

I'm excited that I get to do what I love, and I'm benefiting through projects that speak to me.

I'm an Oscar nominee. I love saying that. Whatever happens, I'm going to sing that 'I'm an Oscar nominee' part.

There are moments where you stop living, if you stop changing, and if you stop seeking growth of some sort.

I prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.

I'm glad that I get to take my final walk as the princess of 2012. ...there's nothing wrong with winning an Oscar!

I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist. And my reality is that we live in a multifaceted, multicultural world. And maybe once we stop labeling ourselves, then maybe everyone else will.
