To Be Seen And To Be Respected

I'm Very Accepting With My Age. It's Like Notches On Your Belt: Experience, Wisdom, And A Different Kind Of Beauty. There Comes A Day When You've Become Comfortable In Your Skin.

I've Witnessed Racism All My Life. And Of Course There's Racism And Discrimination In Hollywood. You Go For A Part And They Say, 'oh, We Really Liked Her, She's Amazing, But We Wanted To Go With Something More Traditional'. As If I'm Not A Traditional American!

It's Ok To Say, 'this Is What I Want' And Go After It.

I Don't Like Things Like Little Sandals That Look Fragile. I Like To Look Strong And Commanding.

Being A Former Dancer, Classical Dancer, It Informed Me As A Human Being Just In Terms Of The Grace I Guess. Ballet Is A Very Graceful Form Of Art. You Also Become Very Aware Of Your Body And Your Mind And Your Body Is Working In Conjunction. That Kind Of Helps You In Acting As Well. It's Not Only Using Your Mind, It's Like Making Your Mind Communicate This Character Into Your Body So That You Can Bring It To Life And Physicalize It.
