Doing cinema is not about watching yourself

You can never really judge your work because once it's done, it's done.

We can never know... But maybe it's because no black actors merited being nominated.Why put people into categories?

I think that most actors don't have very good opinions of themselves

You cannot watch yourself dispassionately.

A film based on a jolly good John Grisham book is fine, but I like to get a bit under the skin

What beauty brings is huge. It brings great privilege, great power and potential to do many things. If you are beautiful, doors open for you; people smile at you; you are accepted in places where others aren't. So the relationship that people have with beauty, in a sense, is almost deforming.
