I come from an interracial family: My father is from Nigeria, and so he is African-American, and my mother is American and white, so I rarely see skin color. It's never an issue for me.

I want to touch the world through my performances on screen but also off screen.

You can go as far as you want to go.

As they say, real legends never die. Tupac is huge; he's an inspiration. Arguably, he's probably the biggest, most analyzed and loved artist of all time.

I feel like decades ago it was either youre black, white, Asian or Hispanic, or whatever, but today we see more of an acceptance for people with multi-nationalities.

I have always wanted to do something high octane. I've wanted to tackle an action role where I play a tomboy but empower myself as a woman.

I'm proud - or really more thankful than anything - for all the work that I've gotten.

Being pampered is great, but sometimes I like to do those things myself because it's a little therapeutic and gives me some downtime for myself - and I need that.

Excellence never seeks excuses.

We are robots aren't we??

You don't necessarily equate me with humor!

The love of a dog is a pure thing. He gives you a trust which is total. You must not betray it.

It was a great joy for me to develop a strong female character in the spirit of an Icelandic woman. Icelandic women tend to be very strong and very independent, and I think that came in very handy.

Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you.

I paint the way some people write their autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages of my journal, and as such they are valid.

A prince is also respected when he is a true friend and a true enemy; that is, when he declares himself on the side of one prince against another without any reservation.

It would have been impossible to get 'The Verdict' off the ground without Paul Newman obviously, but today without any star, kind of a dramatic piece would be very tough.

I am a private human.
