It's funny that until I actually met my husband, I never thought I'd get married.
It's incredibly hard out there for women of color.
There's a difference between actresses of color and actresses not of color. If you look at how big my movies are.
When you see all the suits in the room, everybody in the room has on suits, you know, the women, too. We're not wearing dresses and chiffon and we're not as fun as we used to be.
I've tried to be flexible in my career by doing a little bit of everything and that's worked for me.
I went to public - I graduated from publics - Westchester High. I'm a product of LA Unified.
I try to turn most things into an exercise. Sometimes, I can't get a workout in, so I will do things like park further away at the grocery store or take the stairs. It may not be much, but I've convinced myself it does something. Mind over matter. My regular workouts consist of hiking, Cardio Barre, and light weight training.
I've always been selective about materials I choose anyways. The incoming calls haven't been projects that I necessarily want to do. Now I can always be called "Emmy winner Regina King."
