Well, thank you and that's for them, but for me, I want to look back at a body of work where when you do the research and you explore the psyche of a character, where she's been, where she is and where she's going.
Struggle and survival, losing and winning, doesn't matter. It's entering the race that counts. You enter, you can win, you can lose .... but it's all about entering the race.
There are just certain realities about our world and I just happen to be creative within it.
I'm a big child at heart. I think it's important to stay that way and not lose the wonder of life.
Some day I want to play a grandmother. And a foxy one at that!
Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.
Let's start working towards wellness, a healing in our community, a healing in relationships, so male and female can finally sit down and understand that that young boy or young girl saw behavior exhibited by their parents that was negative and abusive and they're going to pass it on.
I like to do all kinds of films.
Does a black person make them an African American? No. There are Hispanics that are very, very dark skinned so the word has lost its meaning, it's not a very concise or proper word to use even today and it wasn't then.
Driving a cab is not really a nurturing type of relationship. You take people and they tip you, they may not tip you, you don't know their names, they don't care about you, you don't care about them.
I felt beauty was a magnet for abuse, and I had suffered greatly for it.
I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.
Thats what I crave that diversity.
I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.
