A lot of directors prefer the solitude of the editing process, but I revel in the craziness of what a film set is.
When I did the film Generations, in which the character died, I felt like a guest for the first time. That made me very sad.
For me, whenever I would see a lot of 'black films,' I didn't feel represented in it. I didn't feel connected to the characters or the situations or the humor.
On the clothes front, I have a designer who sits with the director for each film to chalk out a look for me based on the script.
When I first did theatre, I was always doing comedies; it was always my first love. But it wasn't what I was picked for at first, for films and TV.
A lot of people think I'm that guy in 'Betsy's Wedding', but I'm not. What it is for me is that, on some level, I connect with the character emotionally.
As an actress I find the most enjoyable part of acting is really just to please the director. I just want to please my director.
A lot of people get stereotyped into roles just from how they look, and I have played such a variety of characters.
I'm very thankful to directors and filmmakers who consider me in their films, and I hope I'm able to do justice to their films.
