We Have To Have Films About Action

It's The Best Honor When Someone Wants To Use As Their Professional Title The Name Of A Character That You Portrayed.

We Have To Have Films About Action And Violence And Special Effects. That's The Sad Part, But You Know What? It's Not Me Doing It.

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.

Each Time You Do A Film You Gain A Lot Of Experience And Build A Visual Resume Where People Get To Know Who You Are.

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.
