I Look Forward To Going To Work.

I Come From The Theater, And I've Done A Lot Of Character Work In The Theater, But Hollywood Stuff In Film And Tv, They've Been More Leading Lady/ingenue Type Roles.

Like The Guy I Was Dating. White, Liberal, Educated. I Went To Meet His Family And I Think That They Probably Didn't Know They Had A Problem With It Until He Walked In With Me. And They Definitely Had Issues. Mom Had Issues With It. Could Not, Didn't Want To See Her Son. And I Don't Think She Had Anything Against Me. But It Was About Her Son Bringing Me Home. And I Felt That For The First Time. I Was Like, 'wow, That's Deep.' It's Really Simple: I Don't Fit Their Picture.

I Remember After I Dated This White Man, Nobody Said Anything But There Was A Couple Of Men In My Family That Joked After That. 'oh Yeah, We Had A Party When Y'all Broke Up. Hee Hee Hee.' And, You Know, They Laughed, And It Was Like Light And A Joke. But, You Know, That's Real. That Was Real And They Let Me Know. And, It's Almost Acceptable Within Our Culture To Be Prejudiced Toward Whites Because Of Our History. This Country Is Loaded With Racism .

Some Of Us Just Have To Work Harder To Stay In The Game.

Being Strong Can Be Also Feminine. I Don't Think Feminine Equals Being Weak. Being Strong Is Very Sexy.
