The only thing I don't like about acting is that it takes so much time away from my family. Otherwise, I don't have any complaints.
I'd like to someday see myself married to my true love and starting a big family, and at the same time still having an artistic job.
They're trying to kill me before I'm dead. I come to Quebec to spend some time with my family and they say I'm dead.
No one on his deathbed ever said, I wish I had spent more time on my business.
I definitely do like change. I don't know if my hairstyles reflect that, but I don't like the same old thing all the time.
There are things I can't force. I must adjust. There are times when the greatest change needed is a change of my viewpoint.
I leave my house all the time! But I'm not at all the Hollywood parties. I'm grown, and where else am I supposed to be? I'm supposed to be home.
I don't even watch Fox News usually in the prime time hours because I'm home with my kids and that's more important to me.
I cook all the time, and I cook all different kinds of things, but never Mexican at home. That's my work.
If the only time you think of me as a scientist is during Black History Month, then I must not be doing my job as a scientist.
I've been a lifelong horror fan, but at the same time, I would say 90 percent of my reading is biographies and nonfiction history.
I'm sort of like a T. rex in the world of female actresses. Every time a job is finished, I look at my car and think, 'Could I live in it?'
I can go without make-up and go fishing with my dad; other times, I buy pink shoes and shop for dresses.
I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education.
I worked a long time to get good at what I'm doing, and nobody handed me a recording contract because of who my father is.
My approach to parenting is that everything is open - everything. I'm not very good at covert, or subtle, and I've had to learn timing. I do blunder in a bit.
My stand-up is quite good now, people say. It's just like a big conversation each time. Every gig is a rehearsal.
My point was that it's hard to make good films, but I'm not under any illusion that you do all the time.
I honestly believe there are good things happening in this world, and I'll spend most of my time trying to find them and bring them to light.
I have photographs taken of me at the time I was addicted, and thought I looked good. I see them today and realize my eyes were dead.
I've hung out in the writer's room a few times, but the fact is we've got such a good writing staff, I don't want to get my peanut butter fingerprints on anything.
