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!

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.

I'm really silly. That's the thing that people don't get. I think I'm a stronger comedic actress than I am a dramatic actress. I'm not really pigeonholed, but I'm known for drama. I do comedy so easily, and people relate to my humor. I'll be glad because I don't have to stay sexy and young forever. I don't care if I'm big, as long as I'm funny.

Katherine Johnson passion for math, the way I light up when I get asked questions about acting is the way her eyes danced when she talked about math and how she wanted people to fall in love with numbers the way that she did. If I had a teacher like that, I could have been a rocket scientist.

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.

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.
