I like to work.

Television is fun, but it’s hard, and if it gets too crazy I may just do it as a part-time thing.

I can’t sit back and swallow stuff. I live in a time and place, and in a country on earth where you’re not supposed to swallow it. People just gave up.

Star Wars was magnificent, but you could tell Darth Vader’s ships were glued together.

Politics is never about the people. It’s about money. And wars. And how many heads you can step on and bodies you can step over. And I’m just not that kind of person.

I have four strikes against me. I’m black, I’m short, I’m intelligent, and I have a medical condition.

I still have the desire to do the job of acting. It’s just a matter of whether I’ll be allowed to do the job of acting that remains to be seen. There are only so many brick walls that I’m willing to beat my head on.

I don’t want to be known as Gary Coleman’s wife.

I liked ‘Diff’rent Strokes’ up until about the last three or four years. I was bored.

I don’t hurt or want for visibility, but people seem to forget pretty easily.
