Pain doesnt have a face and pain doesnt have a certain way of adjusting. Pain is universal.

The roles that I feel I get, or handed to me, or whatever, are not that interesting. I don't think it's a problem that's specific to black women. I think it's a problem that's specific to movie-making in America.

Too many people I've loved dearly have left this earth. And some I've lost are still here breathing the same air. That grief can be comparable if not worse in its consumption.

I love playing different characters and things that are challenging. I'm not interested in safety at all. That's what makes me get up in the morning.
