Me, sexy? I'm just plain ol' beans and rice.

I tell actresses, "If you're too tall, if you're too fat, you're not going to work. I don't care how talented you are." It's a business, and sex sells.

I want to direct and work with the youngins and the fabulous actors of today.

That's what he was saying, the civil rights movement - judge me for my character, not how black my skin is, not how yellow my skin is, how short I am, how tall or fat or thin; It's by my character.

When you come from an environment that's military, and they don't stress that topic of aesthetics or beauty pageants and makeup, there are a lot of things you just don't have that city girls have. Or the country girl who goes to movies and dreams of going to Hollywood as an actress.

I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.

When you are an actor, you bring a tool in your craft but you are not that person.
