genre good stories truth whatever
I really want to do film, but I want to do the right film. The truth for me is that I'm really driven by stories. So there are stories I want to tell, and if it's a good story then I want to do it, whatever genre it is.
careers songwriters
Im a songwriter and Id love to make that a part of my career.
thinking black los-angeles
Personally, especially as a young black woman, I didn't think that Los Angeles was a place for me to start. There's a certain type that they go for or don't.
passion piano four
I started playing piano when I was around four; thats my first passion.
challenges done intention
The big challenge is finding something new without changing completely what you've already done - going deeper into what you've already done and discovering new things while carrying out the same intention.
trying way emotion
The way I work emotionally is: I don't ever try to cry. I try not to, which is what for me produces organic emotion.
writing actors process
Shakespeare teaches you how to act. You come out of this process as a better actor. It's just the nature of the words he writes.
different television directors
Theater is a lot more interactive, more of a cohesive unit. With television, it can be a different director every episode.
fun nice character
The directors were often really nice and I was well behaved, so I would just sit there in rehearsal. That allowed me to see the process - not just the result, the red carpet, all of the wonderful, fun things that happen afterwards - the nuts and bolts, the nitty-gritty, "Let's try to build this character from the page," tech rehearsals.
mom jobs growing-up
My mom was really busy when I was growing up, but she did a really good job in terms of balancing her home life with her professional life. She basically took me everywhere.
thinking views want
There are a lot of celebrities that I think can get a little bit distracted by the way that our society views celebrity. All of a sudden, the film becomes about, "Come see this celebrity!" I'm not interested in that. I want to see a story.
thinking artist littles
I think even when I was little there was signs that I was an artist. I've always been an artist.
reality actors shows
In L.A., being an actor is like a pastime, everybody there is like, "I was on this reality show; I'm an actor." It becomes a word that is loosely thrown around.
