Good storytelling appeals to me - good writing.

It was a good script [Something New]. We have not seen an interracial issue dealt with from a black woman and white man's perspective in this way. And, usually, it's a black man, white woman. I loved the fact that it wasn't about the couple being against the world or the couple against the family. I loved the fact that it was her dealing with her own prejudices that came up, her own guilt, her own shame and embarrassment about what her peers thought.

Chemistry on film is like chemistry in real life, it's either there or it isn't.

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

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

You can never be happy when you're constantly comparing yourself to others. Keep your eyes ahead.

When you're on a set it can be very tedious and slow. It's just not as big as when you see it on film.
