I have never been a 'hair person.' Growing up, my mom and my sister, who loved to get their hair done, would always give me a hard time about not getting mine done.

There are a lot of podcasters that are females of color. And I think that we should be allowed to tell a very specific kind of story. And if you don't like it, you don't like it. But if you do, enjoy the tea! Sip that tea.

I don't really like conflict at all, and I really find conflict pretty devastating. I try to avoid it at all costs.

Me and Cate Blanchett have the same job, technically.

I never really considered acting as a career until I moved to New York.

I don't care that people thought I was one way for my whole career because now that I am not attached to a team, I can have my own opinion, I can have my own voice. I can link myself to my own thought process rather than a generic message most teams try to get across.

I don't think a professional agent or theatre manager would say my career had gone as well as perhaps it should have after that first 'Oliver!' success, but then again I was never really intending to have a career in the professional theatre in the first place.

I've made 30 movies and for the most part my movies work. In a business where success is an exception and not the rule, I've mostly been successful.
