People are going to always have their opinions whether you date a black man or not. I've had girlfriends, family members comment on black men that I've dated as well as white people. People want to see what they want to see. And if anybody doesn't fit that picture they're going to be like, 'Yeah, I didn't see you with him.'

Good storytelling appeals to me - good writing.

If someone has already done a role I'm about to do, I won't watch the original until after I'm finished playing the role.

Kelsey Grammer is one of the best actors I've ever worked with.

I think I'm a character actress in a leading lady's body, but the industry doesn't really see me that way.

Everybody is different. I can think of three black men I've dated and they couldn't be more different from each other.

Sometimes when you don't care, people are attracted to that.
