work-out body way
It's almost sad that it's something that's just associated with stripping or because someone is slutty. That's really not it. It's actually a really great way to get a work-out and to build upper body strength and to have fan.
strong smart successful
I definitely am drawn to strong females who are successful, smart women because I am a woman like that. I think it's important to portray those kinds of women on film and television. Especially as a black woman, I think it's important.
strong dancer looks
I've been to strip clubs where the dancers have these whole routines that they create just for the wow factor and to say, 'Look how strong and physically fit I am.' Most women couldn't do it, and it's not necessarily sexual. It's just a performance.
art gun dying
One thing I am really dying to do, while I'm still young and in shape, is an action movie. I would love to do a Lara Croft type of thing that's really physical and tough. I want to have a gun and do martial arts. I would love to get paid to get into the best shape of my life.
couple numbers dancing
I did do a little research. I went to a couple really fantastic strip clubs with really talented dancers, just in terms of their physical prowess. For the scene, there was a whole dance routine that I had to do, so I worked with a pole dance instructor who helped me choreograph a number for that scene. We broke down the principles of pole dancing, for three days, for an hour a day.
years egyptian-pyramids historical
I wouldnt mind spending six months a year having a private jet take me around the world to visit natural and historical landmarks like the Egyptian pyramids, Mount Kilimanjaro or the Taj Mahal.
character play black
I tend to play characters that arent supposed to black or written black.
interesting ordinary actors
As an actor, you are always looking for something fresh and interesting and not ordinary.
voice cartoon use
Doing the voice for something [cartoon] requires an enormous amount of energy and you really have to use your whole body. It's cool.
different environment
I always like an environment where theres lots of women and everyones different.
character play actresses
Every actress hopes to play a wide range of characters because not often you dont.
beautiful art thinking
Obviously, there's the seedy side of the strip club world and pole dancing. But, pole dancing, as an art form, is really beautiful. It's been hyper-sexualized because it's associated with strippers, but if you think about it, just in terms of other kinds of dancing, they're using an instrument to create these amazing dance forms.
