THINGS BLACK ACTORS SAY:
"Film is a reoresentation of life, just like art is an d life ain't always glamorous, life isn't always hideous, life is just life, life is just sometimes normal....so if you don't think you have the look, don't think you're the most fittest of the fit, or don't stand out, don't let that stop you...film needs you"
"You have to have that thick skin, you need it..Most people that get torn down, get torn down and they quit or they're just acting, but they quit...they want to keep that ego up, that appearance, even though they hate it"
"I go through too many ups and downs to send you on that mission, You've got to want it"
"I Was Powerful Enough To Make These Things Happen"
"I just picture Super Mario jumping through worlds, like next level then the next level, that's this game"
"It just feels weird being this tiny woman look up at all of these big men on set, where are the women? I want to see a lot more working women"
"Just a little leave in, washed it and let it go...after lunch, I was a poodle. They don't always understand..."
