Women that look like me [the black ones] need to see more of themselves in social media, in film, in music.

I think it's important to represent black women and our natural hair. Not wearing a weave is totally beautiful and acceptable.

If everyone is there to make a good film, everyone is down to earth, and everyone is there for the right reasons - the scale doesn't really matter I think.

I'm pretty much a thrift shop gal. Flea markets on Sundays.

When I read the script [of Good Kill], it read like a science fiction film. And Andrew [writer/director Andrew Niccol] is known for sci-fi. But when I spoke to him, he said this picture was 100% factual, which blew my mind. I realized then how little I knew about the drone program. And I felt that, if I knew so little about it, there must be others who should be educated about what's going on.

Fame has become this obsession for people, which kind of creeps me out.

I’ve basically been working really hard for the past couple years. And the nature of the film business is that movies come out when they come out, and these all just happen to be coming out at the same time.
