I'm Not A Total Feminist,

I'm Still Trying To Do Films About Black Women.

My People Were Homesteading In Colorado Before Emancipation.

You Can Get Hurt At Any Time.

I Tell Actresses, "if You're Too Tall, If You're Too Fat, You're Not Going To Work. I Don't Care How Talented You Are." It's A Business, And Sex Sells.

I Was Able To Be Distant By Portraying Another Person, Another Character, If You Will, And I Found Myself Not Stuttering And Not Having Anxiety Attacks When I Was Portraying Another Soul, Another Being, And I Found Comfort In That. I Think Many Actors Do, Playing Someone Other Than Themselves.
