Loretta Devine

Loretta Devine (When asked about being recognized in public): I can basically go anywhere I want. Sometimes, people are shocked to see me in a place like Costco. They go, "What you doing in Costco?"

Loretta Devine: (When asked what her secret to keeping her career going) I have no idea. If I knew it, I would try and sell it, I could tell you. I love it so much, I love doing it so much, I think it goes on the screen and you can see that, I hope. That's part of what it is.

Loretta Devine (speaking about her cameo role in Dreamgirls): At first, I had such mixed feelings because they didn't want to pay me anything, and it was like "Come on."

Loretta Devine (when asked about her work with David E. Kelly:I absolutely fell in love with him when I was doing Boston Public. He's such an unusual man, and he used to be drive by and say, "Loretta, you're going to be in love with a midget next week." [laughs] And I'd be like, "David!" And he'd say, "You don't believe me? Wait until you see this scene."
