What counts in Hollywood is box office. It doesn't really matter what people think of you as an actor because as long as you have been in a movie that has made money you will always get another job.
Hollywood is so fake and people need to realize that people are just people and you too don't need to be born into something or have money or have whatever product someone is hawking on you.
I never left France for Hollywood nor stashed my money in Switzerland.
I have plenty of money unlike other Hollywood celebrities or athletes that have not invested well.
I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.
In Hollywood you play a mom and instantly you've got osteoporosis.
It devastates me now that I have been reduced to a Hollywood statistic - another joke marriage.
I'm so wrapped up in my work that it's often impossible to consider other things in my life. My marriage ended in divorce because of this my relationship with Holly has suffered by this.
I love being black in America and especially being black in Hollywood.
I've definitely had my fair share at shaking my fists at the gods of Hollywood but I'm learning that I cannot think that way or I will go crazy.
We're living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me I just followed my parents around on their errands when they were busy on the phone I was quiet. It's a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house and you listen to their music and you go to their appointments.
