Date a woman with children only if you are ready to man up, because it's a position that comes with responsibility.

I'm not a selfish actor. I believe that it's a team effort. You're not in a scene by yourself.

A lot of times characters are combinations of people I come across in life. I people-watch a lot.

I'm always the cousin that can't make it to the family functions because I'm busy.

Katherine Johnson never complained, it just was what it was. She just said, "I just wanted to go to work and do my numbers." And she stopped right there. I think about that as a Black woman in Hollywood when I'm asked about diversity. I hate when people say diversity because the first thing you jump to is Black and white. When you talk about diversity, you're talking about women being hired in front of and behind the camera. You are talking about people with disabilities, the LGBTQ community...so I hate when people think about diversity.

People live by example. I can't tell you, "You can be anything," if I shot my own dreams down or was too afraid to go after them.

I like to disappear in my roles because I don't have an assistant.
