A good two years after Hurricane Katrina I remember feeling so devastated and so ignorant that there was so much damage still left. I felt like here I was an American and this is an American city and the government hasn't done enough and people haven't given back enough. Everyone forgot and the city was lying in waste.

I know imitation is the highest form of flattery, but stealing one's identity is totally different.

But if an actress asks me my opinion, I would tell her there are a million different designers who make faux fur. If you like that look, wear faux fur. If you're doing it on the red carpet, you're doing it for how it looks. Faux fur and real fur look the same on camera.

I loved killing zombies in 'Day of the Dead.' I basically welcome anything that involves being dirty or bloody or shooting guns.

The strikers are the ones that normally go for big, big money because they're the ones who decide the games, nine times out of 10.

It is because my dad died suddenly that I became an actor. I thought, I'm going to make money doing this thing I enjoy.

Being independent isn't as flashy as a lot of people may think. It's a lot of hard work; its a lot of investing your own money. And to creatively time to make your day work - it's on you to make it work, and no one else.

Personally, the first year when I started making enough money just from acting - by that, I mean not doing anything else but acting - was around 2003.
