I love horses.

Boys are so much drama.

You have to be resilient.

I like meat and carbohydrates.

I drink a gallon of water a day.

I've dated a number of 'mama's boys.'

You have to develop a very thick skin.

I love TV. I love the stability of it.

Before I got married, I dated the gamut.

I'm not sensitive, I'm not a weepy person.

My mom is painfully sweet; she's from Nebraska.

Reality TV looks more like America than movies do.

You know what lasts longer than beauty? Being smart.

I've been trying to get cast as a lesbian for years.

In Hollywood, marriages are kind of expected to fail.

I've always had an interest in sports across the board.

I don't get enough sleep so I always have undereye bags.

My friends are very opinionated about the people I date.

I date, but the person I date most is myself, unfortunately.

Hollywood needs to recognise all shades of African American beauty.

In Hollywood, you play a mom and instantly, you've got osteoporosis.

But I prefer to go to comedies. Give me Julia Roberts smiling anyday.

I like directors who have worked as actors. They know the experience.

I don't function well in chaos, whether it be my sheets or the dishwasher.

If my real life was half as exciting as what is reported, I would be thrilled.

There's no such thing as a healthy tan, and that's what people need to understand.

If someone lacked decency or respect, I didn't allow that person to stay in my world.

I encourage people to ask whatever question you're most interested in hearing the answer to.

The guys I tended to date, you know, didn't necessarily have it altogether but I had a great time.

I decided to follow my dreams and my passions and to always have an adventure, no matter what it is.

My wish for the world would be to end violence against women. My wish for myself would be for peace of mind.

Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you.

In Hollywood, you play a mom, and the next thing you know, you're on 'The Golden Girls.' They age you so fast.

People think that celebs make a lot more money than we do. We look for bargains and we do a lot of stuff on our own.

I think if we open ourselves to all different kinds of men and all groups, we find a lot more opportunities to love.

I realized I had been keeping people around even when deep down I knew they were bad for me. I had overridden myself.

I'm not the type to lay out on the beach, but I do love to work out outside, and that can really take a toll on your skin!

You want to come home to a nice firm bed with the corners tucked in so you start over, like each night is like a new night.

If we can have drones, we can have brown people on TV, and the world won't end! We need to catch up. We are painfully behind.

I played sports year around: basketball, soccer, softball and I ran track year around, from the time I was, like, six, seven.

A couple of my friends started having babies, and I thought, 'Maybe one day, with the right guy.' I have to find the guy first.

The black community in Hollywood is very small and close-knit. Everyone has a common goal: to make a two-hour movie in 30 days.

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.

We all have to let go of the Prince Charming complex and realize he doesn't necessarily exist in the package we assume he'll come in.

When someone who loves and cares about me compliments me, I feel more glamorous than when the flashbulbs are going off on the red carpet.

What's interesting is that producers, directors and writers tend to typecast me in terms of whatever movie they've seen me in most recently.

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 just kind of assumed that you do a movie and then you leave and you hop onto the next thing. I never thought that people are actually buddies.

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!'

We don't consider black, urban films as 'indies,' though many of them are shot for under $10 million which is kind of the definition of an indie.
