When You Ask The Best

This Is A Career About Images. It's Celluloid; They Last For Ever. I'm A Black Woman From America. My People Were Slaves In America, And Even Though We're Free On Paper And In Law, I'm Not Going To Allow You To Enslave Me On Film, In Celluloid, For All To See.

Loving God Is Like My Being Black. I Just Am. [no One Says] 'you Know What? I'm Gonna Be Blacker Today!' It's My Culture. It's Not Something I Put On Or Take Off Or Show More. You Just Communicate That In The Way You Live Your Life.

The World Has White People And Black People In It. Even In Harlem.

Don't Settle For Average. Bring Your Best To The Moment. Then, Whether It Fails Or Succeeds, At Least You Know You Gave All You Had. We Need To Live The Best That's In Us.

When I Was In School, My Mother Stressed Education. I Am So Glad She Did. I Graduated From Yale College And Yale University With My Master's And I Didn't Do It By Missing School.
