Quotes
  • "It's very over the top and it's really, really raunchy. It pushes sexuality to a whole new level and I think it manages to be offensive to everybody. There's a lot of jokes and I think only the Wayans brothers can get away with, because some of it has to deal with racial stereotypes or gender stereotypes. It's really offensive, really raunchy and really silly." (about Scary Movie)
  • "I try to keep my head on straight and take nothing for granted."
  • "I try to keep my head on straight and take nothing for granted."
  • "I don't really like to go out to clubs or anything. It's just not my style. I'd much rather go to a dive bar or a local place. I just don't love feeling awful, having to tell people, "Hi, yeah, I was in 'Scary Movie.' Do you mind if we come in?" I mean, it's so awkward."
