Me and my sisters were taught that if our eyes worked and our legs worked, we were beautiful. We had so many kids in our family that if we all got in front of the mirror and were ashamed of browns and golds and yellows and whites, and we believed what society told us - that the darker people were less attractive and the lighter ones were prettier - we would have had sibling murders. My family, being half-rural and half-military, just came from a different place.

I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.

Some day I want to play a grandmother. And a foxy one at that!

I'm not a total feminist, but I believe in rights for females.

But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.

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

Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.
