I had to invest in the love and understand that with the love comes the pain. So when he tells me that, the monologue is already there. Does that make sense?

It was hard, that confrontation scene [in "Fences"], that was a hard one. I felt like it was relentless, I never felt like I could just drop the ball when the coverage was on him or anything else.

I haven't seen most of what I've done. I can't even list them. Most television jobs. I haven't seen a lot.

I am not a glam woman - this definitely is a mask I put on for the public.

I would love to star in a remake of Thelma and Louise. Yep, that's the one I'd be interested in redoing.

It would be great to bust through and make history. But what's more important is the opportunity to continue to get roles that are complicated and wonderful, to be a part of the narrative and to get to do what our counterparts are able to do. It doesn't just stop at holding an award.

I think that I'm coming off as the biggest alcoholic in the world.
