I really hate to see abusive behavior being passed on from generation to generation to generation, when we have access to health and counseling.

My people were homesteading in Colorado before Emancipation.

Let's start working towards wellness, a healing in our community, a healing in relationships, so male and female can finally sit down and understand that that young boy or young girl saw behavior exhibited by their parents that was negative and abusive and they're going to pass it on.

I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.

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.

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