Comedy is not supposed to be funny. Its supposed to tell the truth and then that's funny.

I really appreciate and respect the audience. People pay their hard-earned money to go watch you, so I feel like it's my job to give 100,000% of myself to what I'm doing.

I'm a physical person. That's why I like action movies. I like to get real into it all, and get real down and dirty.

Becoming a mother is the best thing that's happened to me.

If you're an actress and even one person knows your name, you're lucky.

Making African American films are hard in Hollywood. We need to rely on a support network and bring more cohesion to different filmmakers, actors, producers etc. It's a very difficult business. There aren't a lot of Africans Americans or people of color in high positions in Hollywood that we can green-light films.

If you have the capacity to love, you have the capacity to love anyone.
