I am addicted to any facial product that's anti-aging.

And this is what was fascinating to me about 'The Help'; they were ordinary people who did extraordinary things.

I don't have any time to stay up all night worrying about what someone who doesn't love me has to say about me.

In film, it's up to the director to tell the story in whatever way he sees fit, and however you fit into that ultimate vision is where you fit in. So what you did on that stage, on that set, may not be what you ultimately see when you see the final product. And TV works so fast, it works so fast, it's just about product. The average TV show, one episode shoots eight, 10 days. That's it. You get three or four takes for a scene, and then it's over. But people do it for the money.

And I sit in my jacuzzi with my script.

I think that you always want to gravitate towards people who absolutely are great at what they do and go for authenticity.

You have to understand being an actress, and being an African American actress of a certain hue, I think that you have to be bold with your choices. Even when you're not bold with your choices, have people see it as bold.
