I'm just really thankful to have the chance to portray a character you don't see every day.

My biggest challenge will be to play the totally submissive woman. It takes a toll on you when you play someone who's far removed from your personality.

I stay in tune with my family and God.

I want to live a full life - period.

You don't know what unconditional love is. You may say you do, but if you don't have a child, you don't know what that is. But when you experience it, it is the most fulfilling ever.

If your woman is asleep every time you get home, shes just really tired. Of you.

People love to see themselves on screen in a way that makes sense and seems on point.

You always make a film with the hope that all types of people will want to see your work and that it doesn't matter about your color, but unfortunately it still does.

My mother was a single mom, and most of the women I know are strong.

Especially in this industry, women challenge men much more now because we're saying, 'We can do it, too.'

A Modern Mom to me is not always someone that juggles a career and family. A Modern Mom is a woman who takes care of herself on the inside and the outside.

Try not to say, 'I'm a failure.' Instead, ask, 'What can I do better? What did I do wrong?' Then re-approach.

Friends are born, not made.

I get paid by the year, and I try to earn my money.

You'd like to know me well, but I've got things inside my head that even I can't face.

I would suggest to my honourable Friend that the foreign investor is at least as discouraged by high national debt for that, as all example shows, is the surest precursor of high taxation.

There were days when no kid came out of his house without looking around. The week after Halloween had a quality both hungover and ominous, the light pitched, the sky smashed against the rooftops.

I was signed when I was 19 years old, in 1980. I went to Germany and France. Seeing the world at that time was just an awesome experience for a teenager.

I never started out trying to be an actor. That was not my passion, this was not my thing.

Writing wasn't about making money. I wanted to find fulfillment in writing and telling stories, and that's what's driven me.

The Divorce, it's just like any performance that's given where I really just completely lost myself in that life.
