Unfortunately, the business is such that, as far as studios are concerned, they judge one quote-unquote black movie on how other ‘black’ movies have done, even if they have nothing to do with each other It’s too bad we can’t do well on our own merit when it comes to the studios. They don’t like to take risks and, unfortunately, we’re still considered a huge risk, even though I don’t think we are.

I'm going through a stage where the dumbest things make me bawl. I feel like I need to see a shrink.

It's a trip but it hasn't crossed over to the point where women are throwing their panties at me.

I'm awful with directions, and I'm not very handy around the house.

Somebody will be upset and say I got rich and deserted my female people; No offense, but the only black woman I ever loved is my mama.

One of my favorite films is 'Pretty Woman.
