Sometimes it's not even a role that's specifically written for a woman. It could be a role written for a white man or Asian man, or Latino. If it's something that I feel I could do well, I go after it. Especially if it's nothing that has to be gender or race specific, I'm all over it.
Boys are so much drama.
I think there's a lot of things that occur within the African-American community, that we would prefer to stay within the African-American community - that we get a little nervous when you start having scenes or dialogue that we know is going to be viewed and heard on a national or global scale.
I think I'm drawn to more villain-type characters, because it's so cool to get to say all the things you want to say. In Hollywood, you get to this position where you have to bite your tongue so much. You take all your experiences of not being able to say what you really want to say, and channel that through your character.
The guys I tended to date, you know, didn't necessarily have it altogether but I had a great time.
Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you.
If we can have drones, we can have brown people on TV, and the world won't end! We need to catch up. We are painfully behind.
We don't consider black, urban films as 'indies,' though many of them are shot for under $10 million which is kind of the definition of an indie.
When you want a break from dogs, and you take them to the kennel to the stars, no one thinks you're a bad pet owner. But when you have kids, you can't drop them off for three weeks without someone calling Child Protective Services!
I like directors who have worked as actors. They know the experience.
I just kind of assumed that you do a movie and then you leave and you hop onto the next thing. I never thought that people are actually buddies.
I don't get enough sleep so I always have undereye bags.
I don't function well in chaos, whether it be my sheets or the dishwasher.
I played sports year around: basketball, soccer, softball and I ran track year around, from the time I was, like, six, seven.
