Zitat des Tages von Tessa Thompson:
I try to pick interesting projects, the kind of projects that I would want to watch.
I'm sort of obsessed with Harlem. Just its history. My father did the music for a play called 'The Huey P. Newton Story,' and they did a lot of work in Harlem. So as a little girl, I spent a lot of time in Harlem Library.
As a kid, I loved going to lots of thrift stores with my parents. There was a period where I thought it was embarrassing, and then I started to get older - I realized they were really cool.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I split my time between the West Coast and the East.
I grew up partially in L.A. and partially in New York. In L.A., anything goes because it's really temperate. There aren't any fashion rules dictated by weather, whereas in New York, of course, there are. New York is seasonal, and also it's a fashion mecca, so people are a little more aware of how they put things together.
The term 'breakout' always makes me think of an inmate or some butterfly emerging out of a cocoon.
I am multiracial, and I went through different phases - at one point, I listened to Wu-Tang and hip-hop, and then the next year I listened to Joni Mitchell.
I think when any one kind of film does well, it creates a precedent and paves the way for more like it.
The truth is, no, we don't live in a post-racial state anywhere in America, and this is particularly true in Hollywood.
