In order to be great, you just have to care. You have to care about your world, community, and equality.

I used to think people above me might get jealous because I wanted to do what they did. But no, people are much nicer than that.

I feel a responsibility to continue creating complex roles for black women, especially young black women.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I worked for UFA as a set designer, you know.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.
