I like to be scared. I don't like feeling like 'Oh, this is going to be a walk in the park'. If I ever get to that place, I'll just stop acting.

I hate when things get labeled...

I hate when things get labeled as 'black movies.' I don't say, 'Oh, this weekend, I want to see an all-white movie,' or 'I want to see a black movie.' I just go to a movie because I saw the previews and I relate to it. I want to see it because the previews look interesting.

I'm always talking to the writers because I find it so fascinating, how they're able to go to these different levels with the different stories, and have all these layers to peel back.

When I go home to visit, they never treat me like a celebrity. They still treat me like TJ. If I leave dishes in the sink, they'll let me know.

I'm constantly proving myself....

I'm constantly proving myself. I have to always prove myself. There are roles where I feel like, 'That should have been a straight offer. Why am I having to call my people and fight for it?'

If I feel like I've reached th...

If I feel like I've reached this greatness in my career than there's no more room for growth. I don't think I'm ever going to get there. If I ever get complacent, it's time for me to bow out.

I'm really silly. That's the thing that people don't get. I think I'm a stronger comedic actress than I am a dramatic actress. I'm not really pigeonholed, but I'm known for drama. I do comedy so easily, and people relate to my humor. I'll be glad because I don't have to stay sexy and young forever. I don't care if I'm big, as long as I'm funny.

Improvisation helps because you get what's on the page and you make it a little more palatable to your tongue. And that's the beauty of creating and being spontaneous. That's the way I love to work.

Sometimes you have to say the words exactly how they are on the page, but sometimes when you improv, it only helps to get across what's on the page, and I just love working with directors who allow that.

So much could go wrong on a date. What if he turns out to be a jerk? [You need] A back-up plan, just in case he doesn't work out, you can move on to the back-up plan.

I really wish Hollywood would ...

I really wish Hollywood would stop labeling movies, especially movies with predominantly black casts. Then, it makes others feel like, 'Oh, well, that's not for me.' At the end of the day, everybody understands love, loss, pain and heartbreak. That's not a color.

With camera phones and, you know, iPad's and cameras at stoplights, it's like I just want to drive around with a bag on my head because I just feel like everyone's watching.

On my iPad, and I'm quite a fool for this, but I use Post-It notes to cover up the camera. It's just weird with that little eye there and sometimes it'll be green and I know I didn't turn it on. It's very spooky.

I like to be home with my son, kickin' it and watching ESPN, a very normal life. I like to take him to school every day, watch his games.

I think I'm a better comedic actress than I am a dramatic actress, but everybody believes I'm this dramatic actress and I'll take it.

You could be laughing one day ...

You could be laughing one day about the same issues that you're crying about the next day, so that's life.

A woman is gentle, soft, delicate, and a man's position is to protect her, help her up stairs, make sure she's in the car safely first. Take good care of your woman, and the sky's the limit!
