For myself, if I'm trying to obtain a certain longevity in my career, to establish myself as a certain kind of star, I don't want that black exploitation image.
My father established the first women's university in the kingdom, abolished slavery, and tried to establish a constitutional monarchy that separates the position of king from that of prime minister.
My research process doesn't vary much. I do a little reading to establish a timeline and decide how I'm going to approach the story.
In research, I wanted to establish the medicinal chemistry/bioassay conjugation as an academic pursuit, as exciting to the imagination as astrophysics or molecular biology.
But the one thing that I did do was establish myself as a good actor.
Poor speakers create an artificial divide between themselves and the audience. They feel they need to do this in order to establish their own credibility.
I don't have to make examples out of players to establish my own place. I don't feel like I have to.
I'm not saying no to anything, at least as far as reading scripts. I don't care if it's television or films but, personally, I would say I'd like to establish myself more in film.
