Making 'Beloved' was an awesome experience.

I don't have to be glamorous all the time.

I can be dramatic. I can be funny. I can be sexy. I can be sad. I can be glad.

I watched Westerns from the time I was a girl. My dad was a big Western fan. I always loved Clint Eastwood movies and Westworld, where the guy gets trapped in a western-themed amusement park. The western motif was fascinating to me.

Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.

Making 'Beloved' was an awesome experience.

I like movies that resonate, that give voice to the voiceless.
