African American

Magic Exists If You Allow It. If You Open Yourself Up To It.

You Grow Up And Share Life Experiences. That's One Of The Best Parts Of This Business. You Share How You're Mellowing Out And Your New Sense Of Self.

My Life Changes Dramatically Every Time I Get Up Out Of Bed. After My Proposal Life Changed In That I Wasn't Asked To Change.

To Me, The Producing Falls Into The Same As Acting. It Requires So Much Time Out Of Your Life, And I Take It Very Personally, I Realize.

I Think I'm Not Opening Them Because I Don't Want Anything To Appeal To Me Right Now.

There's Something Sexy About A Gut. Not A 400-pound Beer Gut, But A Little Paunch. I Love That.

I'm Not A Fan Of Reality Shows, But I Am A Fan Of People Who Use Their Brains And Skills And Hard Work To Outsmart People, Not To Steal Someone's Man Or Get Drunk On Tv.

Nobody Can Make Me Cry In Public. I'll Punch Them First Before They Make My Mascara Smear.

When You Have A Full Page Of Well-written Dialogue That Has A Thought Process To It, It Is Pretty Easy To Memorize.

Family And Friends

I've Learned That Success Comes In A Very Prickly Package. Whether You Choose To Accept It Or Not Is Up To You. It's What You Choose To Do With It, The People You Choose To Surround Yourself With.

How Are You Better Than I Am?' So I've Finally Met People That Walk The Walk And It's Made Me Happy, Really Happy.

She Says That Beginnings Are Scary, Endings Are Usually Sad, But It's The Middle That Counts The Most.

People Care About People Who Care About Themselves.

The Hollywood I Know Has Allowed Me The Opportunity After Opportunity To Keep Doing New Things And Not Send Me Out To Pasture. I Don't Want To Go To Pasture. It's Cold. I'm Allergic To Grass. And The Cows Are Mean.

I Don't Need Any More Stories. I Have Enough Stories. I Need A Life.

Meaning Of Life

As Long As I Have Enough Money For Makeup Artists, Everything Is Okay. I Feel Young And Very Free. But One Day, My Face Will Be Too Old For The Camera.

You Hear Sounds And Orchestration, It's ... The Fastest Way, I Think, To Your Emotions, Even If You Don't Understand The Language Of The Song.
