I don't direct movies for a living.

People go to the movies to watch a film and all they're thinking about is the actress's cellulite they saw in a magazine.

One of the reasons why people - particularly young people - love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.

I was in television drama which is a first cousin to the movies and I trust myself to make the right decisions.

I'm fighting the label of 'Black' actress simply because it's very limiting in people's eyes especially people who are making movies.

I want to do movies that I'm proud of where my kids at some point can see and I can feel comfortable sitting there watching it with them. And just that move people. That make people feel a little bit better about themselves when they leave the theatre.

I want to be around for a long time singing and making albums and movies.

Movies have to handle time very efficiently. They're about stringing scenes together in the present. Novels aren't necessarily about that.

I think America becomes more disgruntled by going to the movies and having an endlessly good time at them.

Audiences don't ever disappoint me in the sense that movies I feel really good about they usually feel really good about too.
