 Does a black person make them an African American? No. There are Hispanics that are very, very dark skinned so the word has lost its meaning, it's not a very concise or proper word to use even today and it wasn't then. |
| I love science fiction. |
| Well who's black and what is a black person? |
| I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance. |
| I like to do all kinds of films. |
| I really do not care if it is a B-movie or not. |
| And as I reinvent myself and I'm constantly curious about everything, I can't wait to see what's around the corner in newfound art and entertainment and exploration. |
| That's what he was saying, the civil rights movement - judge me for my character, not how black my skin is, not how yellow my skin is, how short I am, how tall or fat or thin; It's by my character. |
| You can be on top of everything, and the next minute, you're going to be on the bottom. |
| I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't. |
| I'm an Air force Brat and I've lived all over the world and this country and there were people in my community who were gay - nurses, hairdressers, designers - people who just had a different way about themselves. |
| The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it. |
| I came from poverty and was part of those circumstances. |
| Me, sexy? I'm just plain ol' beans and rice. |
| I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people. |
| Driving a cab is not really a nurturing type of relationship. You take people and they tip you, they may not tip you, you don't know their names, they don't care about you, you don't care about them. |
| Today, many people are engaging in same sex relationships and saying they are not gay. |
| Well, thank you and that's for them, but for me, I want to look back at a body of work where when you do the research and you explore the psyche of a character, where she's been, where she is and where she's going. |
| It makes me forget that I'm not going to be a major star and lead female in films whether it was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, five or in the future. |
| I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist. |
