Women of color aren't often named, so to be there and not only (to) represent myself -- but ... all of us in a way ... it feels great,

I eat everything -- red meat, lots of vegetables -- and I drink Diet Coke. But no water, and that's really bad. I've learned not to eat a huge portion just because it's on my plate.

It's scary to be that vulnerable on film.

It very hard to separate one's self from a character. Sometimes the people closest to me have to be very understanding.

I'm not done with love, but I refuse to settle. I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.
dream life-changing teenager
I believe that you can experience very profound moments of change in life...I never would have become an actress if I hadn't dropped out of high school. As a teenager, I was so driven to pursue my dreams that I made a decision to quit school at 17 so I could find my voice as an actress and eventually the profession embraced me.
awards acting actors
I've always thought that when anyone receives an award for acting they should always thank their fellow actors, because the only way you're going to deliver your best performance is when you have other good actors on the set supporting you and being very present for you even when the camera is not on them.

Beauty is not just physical.

I have to live for me. I have to do what I need to do for me, and I have stopped concerning myself with what people say.
screens
I've never been afraid to be who I really am on screen.
nice character feel-good
I've also grown as an actor as I've got older in life. I've learnt how to go to work, immerse myself 100 per cent in the character and, at the end of the day, take it all off and go back, get a nice bubble bath, have a nice massage and realise that is not my life. And that feels good.
cheerleading editors class
I always had to prove myself through my actions. Be a cheerleader. Be class president. Be the editor of the newspaper.
