It makes me forget that I'm not going to be a major star and lead female in films whether it was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, five or in the future.
Showtime is a very good venue that shows a lot of people who might not get to theaters but would see it on cable.
I love working on The L Word because it's entertaining yet political. We're asking real, valid questions, and we're lifting the veil on the lives of a group of people who haven't been seen on television before.
Everyone knows me at Lowe's and Home Depot. I wanted a chainsaw in pink, but I had to settle for red. People are always asking me how I keep my skin so soft. I tell them, 'I'm frozen all winter.' I'm probably 82 and just don't know it. The poor manicurists on the show scream when they see me coming.
As long as my arms and legs are working, as long as I have my sense of sight and sound, as long as I can just breathe, then that's beautiful.
You can be on top of everything, and the next minute, you're going to be on the bottom.
I thought I would be Sheena of the Jungle as a little girl.
It's always fun to put on bell bottoms and have your butt hanging out and hip huggers.
That's what he was saying, the civil rights movement - judge me for my character, not how black my skin is, not how yellow my skin is, how short I am, how tall or fat or thin; It's by my character.
I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.
I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.
When you are an actor, you bring a tool in your craft but you are not that person.
Thats what I crave that diversity.
I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.
