I've never really been about looking good - I'm just bad at that stuff.

I don't have an agent. The only work I get is through friendships that I've already built.

I am looking forward to seeing my buddy Colin represent in front of Pacino. That's sweet.

I'm like, "Well, damn, that means that I have to carry a flag." I don't have the freedom to just do anything, because I have the political weight of having this last name and my heritage. It's not like I've transcended, Will Smith-style. It takes a lot to pull that off, to cross over, and transcend.

I went to business school but left after four months because I just didn't want to be a puppet of society, stuck in an office, craving some sunlight.

People love destroying mankind, for some strange reason. You make a movie about mankind's destruction, you're going to fill seats. People just love the idea. For a couple thousand years, we've been dreaming up how we're all going to disappear and fade away from this planet.

There's a voice inside of me that I know people will relate to; I just haven't really had the opportunity to let it flourish. To sit there and explain to a guy what it's like to be a kick-ass woman is hard. I think there're only a handful of directors out there that get it.
