If You're Stupid And You're

We Have To Have Films About Action And Violence And Special Effects. That's The Sad Part, But You Know What? It's Not Me Doing It.

Struggle And Survival, Losing And Winning, Doesn't Matter. It's Entering The Race That Counts. You Enter, You Can Win, You Can Lose .... But It's All About Entering The Race.

I Tell Young Actresses Today Who Are Looking To Get Into Films, "first Of All, You Are Marginalized By The Color Of Your Skin." I Tell Actresses, "if You're Too Tall, If You're Too Fat, You're Not Going To Work. I Don't Care How Talented You Are." It's A Business, And Sex Sells. Sex, Action, Special Effects, And Violence Sell. 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.

I Was Able To Be Distant By Portraying Another Person, Another Character, If You Will, And I Found Myself Not Stuttering And Not Having Anxiety Attacks When I Was Portraying Another Soul, Another Being, And I Found Comfort In That. I Think Many Actors Do, Playing Someone Other Than Themselves.

I Never Thought I Was Pretty. I Couldn't Even Put On Eyelashes Or Makeup.
