It's time for people to see us, people of colour, for what we really are: complicated.

When I go home, I am a slug. I want to do everything completely opposite of what I do on the red carpet. I like to take off all my makeup, put on a t-shirt, be completely unassuming and just do stuff with my husband and my daughter.

It's always hard to be private in public, which is what acting is because you have to do thing really emotionally naked.

The sentiment that I had a little trouble with was the idea that, "You change the school, you change the community." I couldn't wrap my mind around that.

My biggest fear is that a paparazzi or someone ... is going to come in my backyard and see me when I get in my pool. That would be very unfortunate.

I've done a really bad job with teaching daughter to put on makeup, but I have taught her how to put on lipstick.
