I'm In Film School, So I Really Have To Sock Away My Money For School, Tuition, And So On, And I Really Don't Have Time.

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. You'll Have Julia Roberts, You'll Have Robert Redford, You'll Have Russell Crowe Doing Those Films, Because If They're Going To Cost $90 Million, They're Going To Make That Movie For A Public That's Very Large And Mainstream. They're Not Going To Make It For Three Or Four Million Black People.

I Was A Child Of The Women's Movement. Everything I Had Learned Was From My Mother And My Grandmother, Who Both Had A Very Pioneering Spirit.

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.

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.
