I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that’s what you’re going to count on. In the end, it’s what feels right to you.

Theres plenty of great independent films to do, but you can’t support yourself making independent film as an actress Picture Quote #1

It also gave me the financial security to focus on my other businesses, start new businesses, and even help other people start businesses Picture Quote #1

It’s also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I’m not the only actress out there, and good parts just don’t fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I’ve made recently and so I’m pretty positive about the future Picture Quote #1

I’m an actress. To be honest, it’s a very awkward business. It’s one of those things where it’s almost like a first date. There’s a way you want to come across. You want to show your goods. The truth starts to slip out sometimes Picture Quote #1

My first girlfriend in high school, I had a girlfriend in grade school, but my first girlfriend in high school was Mare Winningham, very fine actress Picture Quote #1

Technically, my first acting job was in one of my videos for a song called ‘Retrospect For Life,’ which Lauryn Hill directed and featured an actress by the name of N’bushe Wright, who played my girlfriend who was about to be pregnant. I remember being so nervous about it, but now I feel like I can conquer the world with it Picture Quote #1

I had a pregnancy that wasn’t private... A lot of people had their opinions about it.

For people to even think that I’d be considered or a good candidate for a supporting actress nomination is mind blowing to me Picture Quote #1

I know I should be Wonder Woman. They need an international actress - a fresh face. They need a woman who’s tall, athletic and dark-haired - and an actress who can play the part. That’s me.
