Hattie McDaniel

Faith is the black person's federal reserve system.

When I was little, my mother taught me how to use a fork and knife. The trouble is that Mother forget to teach me how to stop using them!

I don't belong on this earth. I always feel out of place - like a visitor.

When I make films, I work with Mike Leigh, who's the most prolific director in England.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
