I'm definitely in a place where I'm looking for different than what I've done in the past, just so I can go to work and do something I haven't done before.

A solid sense of self will help a person to lead a full and happy life.

I think it's always nice to have a film where the underdog comes out on top, doing their best, and surpasses everybody's expectations.

Making 'Beloved' was an awesome experience.

I love seeing my mom and my daughter embrace their natural hair. I'm glad I've embraced it, too.

I have a lot of compassion for human beings in life experiences, so I allow myself to feel what these characters are feeling and don't have a problem accepting that.

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