Actress Rosie Perez has boycotted the subway in her native New York, after a string of incidents left her fearing for her safety. The 44 year old was born and bred in Brooklyn, New York— but she refuses to go underground anymore.

She tells New York magazine, "I've been mugged and harassed and someone actually tried to sexually attack me."

The actress recently revealed a lewd mention in Kanye West's hit Good Morning had turned her into a verbal target for hip-hop fans— and she didn't appreciate the attention.

She said, "I'm a woman of a certain age (and) if you're gonna mention me in a song, have a little respect. He mentions my breasts. When you walk down the street and you have 15-year-old boys... (and) they're like, 'Yo, Rosie, D's D's, Rosie Perez,' it's no good."
