[there Is] Type [of Actors ]a True

Sometimes I'd Knock On The Door Of Somebody I Was Going To School With, So It Was Like Living A Double Life.

The Way I Survived Growing Up In Jersey City Was By Being Funny. It Wasn't By Being Tough. Nobody Thought Of Me As A Tough Kid, Except For The Kids I Beat Up.

I Hated School Right Away. Religion Had A Lot To Do With It Because I Felt Like Everybody Was Always Lying To Me.

I'm Like, "well, Damn, That Means That I Have To Carry A Flag." I Don't Have The Freedom To Just Do Anything, Because I Have The Political Weight Of Having This Last Name And My Heritage. It's Not Like I've Transcended, Will Smith-style. It Takes A Lot To Pull That Off, To Cross Over, And Transcend.

There's A Voice Inside Of Me That I Know People Will Relate To; I Just Haven't Really Had The Opportunity To Let It Flourish. To Sit There And Explain To A Guy What It's Like To Be A Kick-ass Woman Is Hard. I Think There're Only A Handful Of Directors Out There That Get It.
