We all have our down days, but it's not hard to smile and say thank you.

I love Jill Scott! I love everything she puts on, how she does her hair; everything about Jill Scott is amazing!

I have a list in my mind and in my heart of actors who have been extraordinarily kind, and Hugh Laurie is near the top.

You have to find a way to not become bitter and live within the parameters of the situation and laugh your way through it…and you hope for a better day for the next generation.

On the acting side, they actually tell us to lie about things that we don't know and later scramble to learn. "Do you ride horses?" "Yes, I do." I think scrambling is the death of most of us in the industry.

I believe there are two types of decision-makers - those who lead with their gut and those who make lists of pros and cons, and fully anticipate the consequences.
