I have experienced loss in my life, but the thing that brings you back is your faith.

I really believe things happen as they're supposed to and in the time that they're supposed to.

I think it's actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian.

As an actor, you don't become Meryl Streep by doing the same type of comedy. You get there by being challenged.

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

Weight issues, race issues will always be there and if you allow them to get to you and you allow them to affect you then yes they affect you. But my thing is I have so many other things to worry about I can't worry about other people's perception of me.

I'm not a fan of 'Gone With the Wind.' I didn't like the movie. I didn't like the book.
