Personal quotes
"The older I get, the more I'm prepared to do things for the money" - a reference to stereotypes of minorities in the movies
"It is not easy to get parts in mainstream films for most people of color. Hollywood and British writers are not writing parts for us, or the directors are not interested in casting us in parts that are color-blind."
"I think we all had that as a concern. That monster there is like a producer's dream, isn't it? Any one of us could get bumped off at any time and we're all aware of it. It keeps you on your toes." - on the potential short life-span of characters on "Lost" |
