On available roles for black actresss in Hollywood:

“It’s always a battle for black women;  we’re totally at the bottom of the totem pole. Look at the white girls. How many times have you seen Amy Adams in a period piece with a great actor like Meryl Streep or Christian Bale? And look at Jennifer Lawrence. Hits out the wazoo! How come we’re not nominated every year? Because the roles and scripts aren’t there. It’s not rocket science.”

On love and dating:

“Here’s the deal. I’m no spring chicken. I’m not in my 20s dating around. I’m looking for happily ever after. So, once you get clear on on what it is you’re looking for, the pickings are slim, honey. I left the whole continent of North America. I’m looking abroad.”
