My Passion Is To Tell

I Tell Young Actresses Today Who Are Looking To Get Into Films, "first Of All, You Are Marginalized By The Color Of Your Skin." 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. Sex, Action, Special Effects, And Violence Sell. Yes, You Can Have Art Films About The Triumph Of The Human Spirit And All Of That, But You'll Have It Done With A Big-budget Icon With A $20 Million Salary.

It's The Best Honor When Someone Wants To Use As Their Professional Title The Name Of A Character That You Portrayed.

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.

I Do A Movie Once Every Four Years And They Call It A Comeback.

I've Never Considered Myself To Be Beautiful, And I Still Don't.
