When I was 9, I asked my mom if I could be on TV. She was like, 'Well, okay. You can try.'
As an actress, I have put myself out there as an independent black woman, a single mom, a go-getter, a hustler who isn't afraid to survive.
My mom was incredibly supportive when she found out that I wanted to be an actress, and that certainly made things easier and more fun.
When I told my parents I wanted to be an actor, my mom was, like, 'I think I heard you say lawyer.'
Chanel No. 5 is my perfume when I'm feeling like a lady. It's old-school and warm - and it reminds me of my mom.
This is actually something no one knows, but my mom was really the one who created the entire style for 'Teen Witch.' I'm dead serious.
I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.
I've always been adventurous. In the summertime, my mom would lock me outside of the house and say, 'Do something, and come back later.'
If you would ask my mom what books I liked growing up, I liked Dr. Seuss.
My hero is Michelle Williams, who I grew close to when we did 'Meek's Cutoff.' She's an extraordinary actor and mom.
People know me from a hockey game, from an earthquake, from the O.J case.
I think the media loves taking the most absurd clips for a sport that has become congressional politics.
If you go on stage with the wrong attitude, or something in your performance is off, you can lose an audience in the first minute. That first minute is crucial.
I went to the Performing Arts School and studied classical ballet. That attitude is something that's put into your head. You are never thin enough.
'UFO's' attitude toward the subject is very similar to mine. It's not an advocacy; its philosophy is more 'I want to believe this, but I want it proved.'
I think that, in the end, the military behavior and intelligence services are not very different from each other. It's an attitude of hunters; they're observing the prey.
I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.
I look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I'll admire it but I wouldn't copy their style.
This hook nose and crab meister attitude has gotten me every job I've ever had. And more divorces than I care to remember.
My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.
My parents put skates on me at age 2, the way it should be if you're serious, and I've always liked it.
