I wanted to be in film. I wanted to be a film student, possibly be a director or cinematographer, not an actor. That was my goal. I didn't believe I had the physical beauty that I'd seen projected and advertised in movies, in theater. It just wasn't for me.
My people were homesteading in Colorado before Emancipation.
My family was very, very receptive to all; all races, religions.
When you are an actor, you bring a tool in your craft but you are not that person.
I'm still trying to do films about black women.
As I get older, it's a time to enjoy life.
