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.

I'm not twentysomething. I'm not trying to find myself - I know exactly who I am and exactly what I want. And I don't want a fan. I want a man who understands me, who challenges me, who calls me on my sh-t instead of letting me get away with it because I'm supposed to be a star. I want a best friend.

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.

When you are portraying a person that is very real, in my case, Katherine Johnson is still alive, she is 98-years old there is a responsibility to get it right. I guess the biggest thing that I took away from Katherine was her humility. When you talk about superheroes there are selfless, they don't think about themselves, they put humanity first.

I don't think about other people. They are not walking in my shoes. They are not paying my bills. What makes me happy is when I do what I like to do, for me.

Something happens to a woman when she can't reproduce. I've not had to walk that path, but I can only imagine when your organs don't work and how that could make you feel.

I feel like I'm already a winner. I've made so many dreams come true. I'm here. Whether you walk away with a statue [ Emmy]or not, you shouldn't make it about it that necessarily. Everyone who's here in this house tonight is a winner.

It's an important moment [win an Emmy]. I just feel like I want it to happen tonight, either for myself or Viola [Davis] so we can get past it, so it's not big news anymore. I mean, it is 2015. We have a black president.

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.

In my mind I'm like, No, Katherine Johnson it was you. It was your mind alone that got John Glenn to orbit the earth. He didn't say, Go get so in so. He said, Go get that smart girl. But that fact that that she sees the we in I, blew me away.

Date a woman with children only if you are ready to man up, because it's a position that comes with responsibility.

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.

At the end of the day, I stand by who I am. I'm a good person.

When I was growing up, no one ever said to me, You cannot do math because you're a girl. But, there was an understanding growing up that math and science were for boys. Somebody lied to me because Katherine Johnson woman exists, all of these women existed.

I would love to play a superhero. I wish I could be in 'The Avengers,' kicking butt.

I don't think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period. End of story. You don't have to kill an animal just because you want to be hot and fly. And I really stand by that.

If I were to meet the most incredible man, and he just so happened to not make as much money as I do, I wouldn't hold it against him.

When I get that question, about diversity, I don't go, Yeah, well you know they don't pay me. That's not my story. I own six properties Hollywood has been damn good to me. Now you can ask me, Have they paid you what you deserve? That's the question, but you'd have to go to the studios, I don't know. I do the work!
