Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.

I know I'm only one human being and I'm only making one tiny contribution and it's nothing more than that.

I don't see a white woman. I see a black woman, even though my mother is white. Knowing that has made my life easier, I think.

I'm learning to accept the lack of privacy as the real downer in my profession.

It is very hard to separate one's self from a character. Sometimes the people closest to me have to be very understanding.

I guess you could say I have bad taste in men. But I no longer feel the need to be someone's wife.

First of all, I'm not pretty. I'm not a world class beauty, ladies and gentlemen. I'm just a guy. I was slow going and stuff like that. I was just never that brand of news.
