My Family Was Very, Very Receptive To

I Don't Know How I Did It, But I Worked 7 Days A Week.

I Tell Young Actresses Today Who Are Looking To Get Into Films, "first Of All, You Are Marginalized By The Color Of Your Skin." I Tell Actresses, "if You're Too Tall, If You're Too Fat, You're Not Going To Work. I Don't Care How Talented You Are." It's A Business, And Sex Sells. Sex, Action, Special Effects, And Violence Sell. Yes, You Can Have Art Films About The Triumph Of The Human Spirit And All Of That, But You'll Have It Done With A Big-budget Icon With A $20 Million Salary.

I Consider Myself Conscious Of How Women Are Treated, And Sometimes I Can Be A Feminist. Sometimes I'm A Little Republican, Sometimes I'm A Little Democrat. Sometimes I'm Angry, Sometimes I'm Not Angry. I'm Not A Total Feminist, But I Believe In Rights For Females. I Believe That If We Have To Pay 100 Percent For Our College Tuition, And Then We Get Into The Workplace And We're Only Given 70 Percent Of Our Counterparts' Salaries, Then We Shouldn't Have To Pay But 70 Percent Of Our College Tuition. Maybe That'll Stop The Bullshit.

When You Come From An Environment That's Military, And They Don't Stress That Topic Of Aesthetics Or Beauty Pageants And Makeup, There Are A Lot Of Things You Just Don't Have That City Girls Have. Or The Country Girl Who Goes To Movies And Dreams Of Going To Hollywood As An Actress.

Driving A Cab Is Not Really A Nurturing Type Of Relationship. You Take People And They Tip You, They May Not Tip You, You Don't Know Their Names, They Don't Care About You, You Don't Care About Them.
