TV does not have anything meaty to offer the male actors. It is a female-dominated industry.

Feeling and reacting has more impact than just trying to emote what your character's saying.

I have a message for all the birdies who try to get in touch with people online who they think might help them to meet me or give my personal information. That will never happen. Don't believe anything anyone tells you on social media about me because not even my parents know what I am up to.

I was happy being a lawyer, and the thought of becoming a model or even actor never came to my mind, even though I knew I looked good.

Brazil is the land of football. They have a lot of passion.

It's basketball; it's always good to blow a team out.

When I travel round the country, people can't place my accent; if there's someone in the audience, they'll be like, 'You're from Philadelphia', but everyone else will say, 'Where are you from, California?' I get England sometimes - bizarre!

You've got athletes who are politicians, venture capitalists, musicians, rappers, etcetera. It's becoming more of a popular thing to have other interests outside of basketball, and I think that's normal. Just like when people work day jobs, they have interest in sports, they do investments, they do all these other types of things.
