She then appeared in several more films, including “Jefferson in Paris” and “Beloved” which is based on the novel of the same name by Toni Morrison, also playing a slave girl.

In 2012, she starred in the drama film “Good Deeds”, before starring in the TV series “Rogue”, eventually leaving the show during the third season, but adding steadily to her net worth.

#Quote
1When I am out and about I feel watched. It's become second nature. The only time I get to be private is in my work. That is when I liberate the ego. The blessed-out sensation of liberating the ego.
2Ten years ago, I probably would have bemoaned the fact that I started out [in the film business] so young - but now I'm grateful - truly grateful. [September 2008]
3God, yeah, I'm good at playing the emotionally strangled person. The woman who is in the worst place in her life. That's me!
4I don't put the pressure on myself to be a very successful movie star. I want to enjoy being an actor and I want to be challenged by the roles I take. What is lovely is that I'll get sent a small movie, and you know that by virtue of me being involved they get their money and that's fantastic.
5Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it. Not to put too fine a point on it, there's something about the shame that goes with sexual exploitation, deviance, whatever. As a woman, having a baby psychologically erases it all from your body. And that, for me, was incredibly important.
6I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life.
7It was hysterical. We wanted to make it naughty and fun. When the camera stopped rolling, it was hard to stop laughing. - about her love scene with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible II (2000).
