I love Jennifer Hudson! She is so lovely on screen. She is so buoyant and youthful off screen as much as on.

I thought if I had straight hair and a perfect nose, my whole career would be different.

I still like getting dressed up and having the opportunity to borrow beautiful dresses, but as a mother - and as somebody who's schedule isn't always my own - I don't shop a lot, or think about clothes a lot.

When men attempt bold gestures, generally it's considered romantic. When women do it, it's often considered desperate or psycho.

If I didn't have kids, I would be at the theater or the ballet every single night of my life.

The great challenge for me is to be all things to all people; I want to be a great mother, and I want to feel good when I'm at work.

I don't know what I can do about the aging. Yes, I am aging. Oh my God, I'm aging all the time. It's like those flowers that wilt in front of you in time-lapse films. But what can I possibly do? Look like a lunatic?
