I didn’t see myself any different from my white counterparts in school. I just didn’t! I thought I could do what they did. And what I didn’t do well, I thought people were going to give me the opportunity to do well, because maybe they saw my talent, so they would give me a chance. I had no idea that they would see me completely different Picture Quote #1

I think that’s something that people feel that I do really well; I don’t mind it, because ultimately I think the characters I play move people, and who wouldn’t want to move people? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you see how humanity can rise above any kind of cultural ills and hate that a person’s capacity to love and communicate and forgive can be bigger than anything else Picture Quote #1

We grew up in abject poverty. Acting, writing scripts and skits were a way of escaping our environment at a very young age Picture Quote #1

When you’re working as an actor, you don’t think that when you get out of school, it’s going to be so hard to get a job. Just to get a job. Any job. Whatsoever. You don’t think that people are going to see you in a certain way Picture Quote #1

Your internal dialogue has got to be different from what you say. And, you know, in film, hopefully that registers and speaks volumes. It’s always the unspoken word and what’s happening behind someone’s eyes that makes it so rich Picture Quote #1

No matter what, people don’t think of me for glamorous parts. I’ll go to an audition or a meeting in a pretty dress, and they still think of me as depressed or embattled. Hopefully, that will change Picture Quote #1

It feels really good to embrace exactly who I am and be my sexy, to be my sexualized, to be my woman Picture Quote #1

Do not live someone else’s life and someone else’s idea of what womanhood is. Womanhood is you. Womanhood is everything that’s inside of you Picture Quote #1

It’s time for people to see us, people of colour, for what we really are: complicated Picture Quote #1

I think that you always want to gravitate towards people who absolutely are great at what they do and go for authenticity Picture Quote #1

As an artist, you’ve got to see the mess. That’s what we do. We get a human being, and it’s like putting together a puzzle. And the puzzle has got to be a mixture, a multifaceted mixture of human emotions, and not all of it is going to be pretty Picture Quote #1

Can I just tell you, I think it’s the most beautiful thing about young people today, it gives me so much hope for the future, that they don’t really recognize race the way my generation does Picture Quote #1

In life, you know, they do this in focus groups; if you were in such and such circumstance, what would you do? Well, you never know what you’re going do unless you’re faced with it Picture Quote #1

That’s why I do what I do, and that’s why I wanted to be an actress from the time I was six years old. If I can’t effectively move people, then I would prefer not to do it Picture Quote #1

Well, first of all, you read the script a million times. Because what the script gives you are given circumstances. Given circumstances are all the facts of your character Picture Quote #1

I can’t deal with actors! I can’t deal with myself. We’re neurotic and miserable... I love doing what I’m doing, but while I’m doing it, I’m miserable Picture Quote #1
