cheerleading editors class
I always had to prove myself through my actions. Be a cheerleader. Be class president. Be the editor of the newspaper.
names hollywood fame
2007 began on a high for me because I had the honour of having my name added the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame.
jobs special looks
Before you go alter body, do some research and find out how many women have major life-threatening complications from nose jobs. Ask about how many nose jobs gone terribly wrong, and if you thought your face was wrong before, look what happens after. The more we start augmenting our bodies, the more and more we start to look alike, then nobody is special anymore.
turning-40
I'm not sad at all about turning 40.
exercise work-out mouths
I do not love to work out, but if I stick to exercising every day and put the right things in my mouth, then my diabetes just stays in check.
mother ifs
I'm a much better mother at 46... than if I were like, 21 or 25.
fun careers challenges
I want to do roles that are fun and challenging and I want to try different things. I don't want to keep doing Monster's Ball over and over and over again. I want to keep doing my career the way that I was doing it before I won the Oscar.
criticism scrutiny subjects
Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.
running real school
When a young woman tells me that she wants to become and actor, I say, 'No, be a writer. Or go to business school and learn how to run a studio.' The only real change will come from behind the scenes.
believe thinking careers
I used to believe that if my career was going great, then I was not entitled to a great personal life. Well, I've stopped thinking that way. I believe I can have it all.
morning character mean
I don't buy into that pressure to be glamorous all the time. It's impossible, I mean, you get a pimple in the morning, you wake up with bags under your eyes, you see if you can use it in your work, maybe incorporate it into your character.
sex race black
Being a black woman, I've often felt I've been judged by my sex and my race, and I have always known that it shouldn't hamper me.
thinking hair who-i-am
I think I am at my best when my hair is short. It's easier to take care of and more of who I am. Women are conditioned to think we need long hair.
sexy winning opportunity
I get offered varied parts, often super sexy roles. But I still think it's an issue to find the good scripts. It's a myth that you win an Oscar and you get more opportunities, and this doesn't just go for me.
