If I were to meet the most incredible man, and he just so happened to not make as much money as I do, I wouldn't hold it against him.

You could be laughing one day about the same issues that you're crying about the next day, so that's life.

I'm pretty much the same. I'm consistent. There aren't two mes. There is only one me. I can only be myself, and that's who I always am whether I'm at home or on the carpet.

I talked to Katherine Johnson, and I tried to make it weighty by asking things like, "How as a Black woman did you do your work in NASA? They were misogynistic, and I'm sure you got called the n-word." She was just like, "Well, that was the way it was. I just did my job. I wanted to do my job." She was just so humble.

When you are portraying a person that is very real, in my case, Katherine Johnson is still alive, she is 98-years old; there is a responsibility to get it right. I guess the biggest thing that I took away from Katherine was her humility. When you talk about superheroes there are selfless, they don't think about themselves, they put humanity first.

At the end of the day, I stand by who I am. I'm a good person.

A lot of times characters are combinations of people I come across in life. I people-watch a lot.
