It is important to learn as much as you can about the person and then throw it all away so that you're not in any way doing some sort of mimicry.

People who are overweight face discrimination. African-Americans face discrimination. Women face discrimination and sexism. So I don't have the luxury of not being tolerant of anyone.

As you make your way along life's tumultuous highways, it's important to note that you should always carry a map, have plenty of fuel in the tank, and take frequent rest stops.

Every character I get to play has some element of who I am, but there's no fun in playing yourself. At least, for me, there isn't.

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 want to see more women behind the scenes.
