I don't think I can break down any doors, but I'm thinking, "Maybe I can be a cameraman, because I love the cameras." And the cameraman would show me how to thread the film, how to repair it, the lenses. That's when you become, like, goony goo-goo about it. You breathe and eat camera, and all of a sudden, you don't want anything else in the world. You finally know, "This is my calling." When you're passionate about something, it doesn't become work. It's art and it's fun. It's arduous, it's sweaty.

Thats what I crave that diversity.

The African-American community is not monolithic. It's liberal and conservative.

Women were victims. Their husbands could beat them up when they wanted to. They couldn't work. They could be maimed and killed by their husbands.

I'm just going to try to do the best work at whatever I'm going to be, and I don't think I'm going to be an actress.

Coming from the '50s, things were very violent.

Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.
