I Went To Public - I Graduated

I Can Work Inside The Boundaries Of Erika Murphy, Or Whoever The Character Is. It's Fun To Create Somebody That's Not You, That Doesn't Exist.

The Good News For Me Is That I Have An Amazing Team Behind Me, And They've Been With Me For 20 Years Now - Almost 20 Years. And They Have Seen Me As An Actress, Not Necessarily Just A Black Actress. So I Have Been Lucky Enough For Them To See Me That Way.

I Watch Espn All Day. If You Come Into My Trailer, Espn Is On. That's The First Thing I Do When I Leave The Set.

Men. You Can't Live With Them, You Can't... No. That's About It.

I Recognize The Amount Of Time That It Takes As A Director. I Made The Choice To Stop Taking Roles Outside Of L.a. Because I Didn't Want To Miss Any Of My Child's Life.
