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.

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

You never know how people are going to respond.

I'm a big child at heart. I think it's important to stay that way and not lose the wonder of life.

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

Yes, you can have art films about the triumph of the human spirit and all of that, but you'll have it done with a big-budget icon with a $20 million salary. You'll have Julia Roberts, you'll have Robert Redford, you'll have Russell Crowe doing those films, because if they're going to cost $90 million, they're going to make that movie for a public that's very large and mainstream. They're not going to make it for three or four million black people.

The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
