I'm really, really interested in the job of acting. I can really care less about being famous. I'm more about the work, and 'The Big C' was amazing, so I wanted to be a part of it.
I live my life because I dare. I dare to show up when everyone else might hide their faces and hide their bodies in shame.
It's like prom night for Hollywood. I'm really proud of myself for being here.
I show up because I’m an asshole, and I want to have a good time.
I have a nice smile, pretty lips, and big round cheeks. They help me look like a teenager.
I have a birthmark on the inside of my left knee that resembles an upside-down sea horse.
I didn't want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.
Mo'Nique is so full of love. I've been describing her as the tree in 'Pocahontas.' She's so wise and loving. She is just everything.
I don't think my brand of self-confidence and self-assuredness can come from an outside source. It's got to come from me.
In the seventh grade, I was about to leave wearing a jumper, when my mom said she could see my panty line. So I just wore stockings. That day I broke my ankle, and the EMS cut my tights off. I got a full cast with no stockings on and no panties.
I hate yoga so much. Like, if yoga was a person, I'd stab them.
I could have easily never worked again after 'Precious.' I could be back at my receptionist job and no one would be surprised, but I'm having a very crazy little career that no one thought would happen. Although that was never the plan.
I can't go to sleep unless I've watched at least two episodes of American Dad on Hulu or iTunes. It just feels familiar. It's like a lullaby.
I'm just a girl from Harlem who ended up in the right place at the right time.
