facts comfort chance
The fact is that I like thrillers and action movies. But what really fulfills me is getting out of my comfort zone, taking chances.
character firsts walks
For me, the walk of the character is always the first part that I must define for myself.
example growing actresses
Growing older is not such a big deal for me, despite the fears that older actresses have in Hollywood. When I hit 40, for example, I didn't feel 40 - or whatever that is supposed to feel like.
growing-up smart white
I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood, so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else, or as smart, or whatever.
mother black-and-white thinking
I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white. Knowing that has made my life easier, I think.
meaningful oasis order
I never wanted to be a model. My modelling career was nothing but a stepping stone to my acting career and that's all I ever saw it as. A pointless rock in the river that has to be stepped on in order to get to the meaningful oasis of acting.
physical-attraction
Beauty is not just physical.
night storage-space clothes
I archive a lot of my clothes and have them wrapped up and in boxes. I call them 'little tombs' and keep them in a storage space... I would never get rid of the dress I wore on the night I won my Oscar. When I die, someone can have it, but not a minute before!
healthy lifestyle ends
I always had to diet. I'm diabetic, so it's a lifestyle for me anyway just to stay healthy and not end up in the hospital.
kissing first-love men
The worst thing a man can ever do is kiss me on the first date.
beauty today way
We've become obsessed with beauty and the fountain of youth and, frankly, I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.
tattoo darkness wish
I chose a sunflower because when darkness descends they close up to regenerate. But I really wish I'd never had the tattoo in the first place. Clean, clear skin is always better.
love happiness inspiring
The times may have changed, but the people are still the same. We're still looking for love, and that will always be our struggle as human beings.
character giving give-me-a-chance
I love a character that gives me a chance to grow and do something different.
