As An Actor, You Are Always Looking

I Don't Think It's A Bad Thing To Play A Character That's Not Necessarily A Super-woman. Even If The Character Is A Little Bit Stereotypical, As Long As The Whole Story Is Good And Positive, Or Makes Some Sort Of Important Statement, I Think It's Okay. But, On The Whole, You Can't Just Do That, Especially As A Black Woman. It's More Of A Responsibility. You've Gotta Let The World See Black Women Being Successful, Strong, Smart, With Power And Who Are Self-possessed.

If Someone Said, "here, You Have Your Pick, You Can Do Either A Musical, Moulin Rouge Type Of Movie, Where You Sing And Dance, Or An Action Movie, Or A Shakespearian Or Elizabethan Movie," I Would Definitely Love To Do A Movie That Was Based On A Musical, Where I Would Get To Sing, Dance And Act, All At The Same Time.

I've Been To Strip Clubs Where The Dancers Have These Whole Routines That They Create Just For The Wow Factor And To Say, 'look How Strong And Physically Fit I Am.' Most Women Couldn't Do It, And It's Not Necessarily Sexual. It's Just A Performance.

It's Almost Sad That It's Something That's Just Associated With Stripping Or Because Someone Is Slutty. That's Really Not It. It's Actually A Really Great Way To Get A Work-out And To Build Upper Body Strength And To Have Fan.
