Figure out what you need to do to be the heroine of your own story.

I wish I could be the black woman Soderbergh, and put the camera on my shoulder and shoot beautifully while I directed.

I know that there are a lot of great women that have gone before me, so it's important to acknowledge them.

Because my mom always told me that I could. From a very early age, I felt comfortable leading.

If your dream only includes you, it's too small.

I always find it fascinating to ask people, why they've chosen to live their life as an artist? Why be an actor, a singer, an author, a filmmaker? I've heard such inspiring answers to that question.
