I Guess I'm Breaking Out A Little

This Is A Career About Images. It's Celluloid; They Last For Ever. I'm A Black Woman From America. My People Were Slaves In America, And Even Though We're Free On Paper And In Law, I'm Not Going To Allow You To Enslave Me On Film, In Celluloid, For All To See.

You Can't Always Do That Which You Can Do In Your Sleep. That Doesn't Fulfill An Artist. You're Looking For Places Where You Can Grow, In Some Way, Whether It's A Large Way Or A Small Way. I Want To Grow As An Artist, As A Person And As A Woman. I Want To Enjoy Myself And My Life And The Company That I'm Keeping. I Want To Bring Something To The Table That's Different Than Anything Else Would Bring, But That Has Its Place And Value, And Then Keep Moving.

The World Has White People And Black People In It. Even In Harlem.

Theater's My First Love. I Love It. It Excites Me. It Feeds Me.

I Can Give You The King's English And Then I Can Take It To The Street, But Do Both Or Do One And Don't Do One Knowing Only The Street. That's Going To Hold You Back Because What Comes Out Is Going To Impress People, And It Will Impress Them Negatively.
