I'm Not A Very Organized Person.

So, First, I Wanted To Be A Part Of The Project Because I Thought It Was An Important Story To Tell. On Top Of That, It's Rare To Find Roles For Strong, Young, Feisty Women, Especially In A Military Film. And I Love That Suarez Ends Up Being The Moral Compass Of The Story, And That She's Also Brave Enough To Stand Up To All These Men.

I'm Lucky Having Parents That Have Been In Show Business For A While And They Don't Care About The Shiny Stuff So Much. They Raised Me In That Way - To Stay Grounded, Not To Chase The Shiny Pretty Things. I Stay In The Moment, Because When You Do That The Hype Goes Away.

This Might Surprise You, But I Do Feel Like I Have, Because The Shooting Of All These Films Was Spread Out, For The Most Part. They Just Happen To Be Coming Out At The Same Time.

The Thing That My Parents Have Always Taught Me Is That Beauty Comes From The Inside, And Also That Beauty Stems From Health.

I Had Talked To My Agent A Lot Over The Years About Not Being Interested In Stereotypical "black Films" [because] I Didn't Like The Way They Were Representing Black People Over And Over And Over Again In The Same Way.
