I've always gotten a positive reaction to doing African-American characters.

I never worked with a dialogue coach before, but I'd hate it if an American did a British accent and didn't do it well. It would be insulting.

Great pressure is put on kids who don't have dads to get out and make money, and make life easier for everybody. It was always, 'Hurry up, grow up, make money, there's no man to do it for us.'

I've always had to create my own markets and I've always been at a juncture in my career.

I like going to France, because no one knows who I am.

I loved the late Gilda Radner. I love Carol Burnett and Lily Tomlin.

I love documentaries, I like observing real people.
