As An Actor, You Are Always Looking

I Tend To Play Characters That Arent Supposed To Black Or Written Black.

There Aren't A Lot Of Roles In Period Movies For Black People. It Sucks Because I Love That Era. But, I Love Musicals. I Love The Show Glee, And I Wouldn't Mind Being On That Either.

I Did Do A Little Research. I Went To A Couple Really Fantastic Strip Clubs With Really Talented Dancers, Just In Terms Of Their Physical Prowess. For The Scene, There Was A Whole Dance Routine That I Had To Do, So I Worked With A Pole Dance Instructor Who Helped Me Choreograph A Number For That Scene. We Broke Down The Principles Of Pole Dancing, For Three Days, For An Hour A Day.

Every Actress Hopes To Play A Wide Range Of Characters Because Not Often You Dont.

I Don't Think It's A Bad Thing To Play A Character That's Not Necessarily A Super-woman. Even If The Character Is A Little Bit Stereotypical, As Long As The Whole Story Is Good And Positive, Or Makes Some Sort Of Important Statement, I Think It's Okay. But, On The Whole, You Can't Just Do That, Especially As A Black Woman. It's More Of A Responsibility. You've Gotta Let The World See Black Women Being Successful, Strong, Smart, With Power And Who Are Self-possessed.
