I'm a sex machine to both genders. It's all very exhausting. I need a lot of sleep.

There'll be a black lesbian in the White House before I'm James Bond.

Honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out.

Being gay and being a woman has one big thing in common, which is that we both become invisible after the age of 42. Who wants a gay 50-year-old? No one, let me tell you.

The thing about lying is, it is quite exhausting - you have to remember a lot.

I seem to have been everywhere in the last 30 years, maybe not in the epicenter but flying around the periphery of extraordinary events and equally extraordinary people.

I think it's fun playing a part that lots of other people have played, in a way.
