I'm Extremely Ambitious. I Don't Know Why

I Never Stopped Being A Mother, And I Never Stopped Being An Artist. Which Is Probably Why My Kids Are So Creative. When I'm With My Kids I'm Creating But I'm Still A Mom. I Don't Wear Two Different Hats. My Kids Have Always Been On The Set With Me. I Was Breastfeeding On Set. None Of My Kids Would Take A Bottle So They Could Not Leave My Side For A Very Long Time.

It's Not About What You Tell Your Children, But How You Show Them How To Live Life.

Love And Honesty Are The Things That Make A Good Wife And Mother.

There Still Aren't Enough[ Roles For Women Of Color]. And I'd Say That's The Case, Not Only For African-american Women, But For All Women In The Hollywood Game. It's Just Slim Pickings, And A Very Challenging Time For Us. I Think That's Why More Of Us Need To Work Our Way Behind The Camera In Order To Create Roles That Really Illuminate Who Women Are. We Still Have Room For Growth In That Area, Without A Doubt.

I Try My Best To Confront Situations Because I Know, At The End Of The Day, You Can Deal With It Or It Will Deal With You. I've Had Enough Experience To Know That That's How It Goes Down. There's No Going Around It.
