I don't know why all these actors think going to a gym or riding horses or learning how to fight are the steps to becoming an actor.

For the first 25 years of my career, I did nothing but sing and dance.

If two very different people pool their DNA, they'll create more genetic variety, and their young will come to the job of parenting with a wider array of skills.

My parents weren't married. It wasn't like my dad up and left. I maintained a steady relationship with my grandparents. My dad's mother is my nana, and I'm closer to her than almost anybody in this world.

My favourite types of cuisine are Asian and Caribbean, and I love cooking new recipes for my family.
