There's no such thing as a healthy tan, and that's what people need to understand.
I'm just riding this train as long as I can. As long as I'm having fun, I'll do it. When it stops being fun, I'll try something else. Maybe I'll open up a chain of Popeye's Chicken.
You get so afraid of failure and so afraid of losing and so afraid of not being the best that it's not a natural drive - it's born out of fear of failure. Which helps in Hollywood.
You think this is something that happens to other people, this is what you read about.
Hour-longs are like doing movies that never end, ... City of Angels.
I love romantic comedies. They're for me the easiest thing to do and the most natural to do. There's nothing natural about holding an uzi hanging out of a moving van shooting at people. That's not second nature to me, thank God.
I was always in the popular crowd, but I really had atrocious teeth. I was encouraged to 'do well in school, 'cause no one's going to marry you!'
I had to learn - since I'm divorced now and everyone is like, 'Oh my God, you're single, what's going on?' - that if I don't like to spend time with myself, how can I ask someone else to enjoy spending time with me? I'm getting to learn how to enjoy my solitude and have a good time.
Hollywood needs to recognise all shades of African American beauty.
I was at one time a football wife, and there is a certain level of bonding that happens between women who are the wives of football players.
I'm the kind of person whose clothes are all hung up and color-coordinated, to the point where my whites don't touch my creams.
I've dated a number of 'mama's boys.'
I've been trying to get cast as a lesbian for years.
I think if we open ourselves to all different kinds of men and all groups, we find a lot more opportunities to love.
