Our Culture Is Revered And It Inspires

I Like Serious Films, The Moneymaking Blockbusters That Don't Make Any Kind Of Sense And John Carpenter Films.

My People Were Homesteading In Colorado Before Emancipation.

I Tell Young Actresses Today Who Are Looking To Get Into Films, "first Of All, You Are Marginalized By The Color Of Your Skin." I Tell Actresses, "if You're Too Tall, If You're Too Fat, You're Not Going To Work. I Don't Care How Talented You Are." It's A Business, And Sex Sells. Sex, Action, Special Effects, And Violence Sell. Yes, You Can Have Art Films About The Triumph Of The Human Spirit And All Of That, But You'll Have It Done With A Big-budget Icon With A $20 Million Salary.

Women Were Victims. Their Husbands Could Beat Them Up When They Wanted To. They Couldn't Work. They Could Be Maimed And Killed By Their Husbands.

I Felt Beauty Was A Magnet For Abuse, And I Had Suffered Greatly For It.
