As a film director and as film actors, you get used to a certain rhythm that's slow. But with TV, it's hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. It's a different pace.
From Lee Daniels
I'm not really vegan. I'm vegan-ish. I have a piece of lamb every now and then.
America is fickle. You never know what they're going to go for.
I've met Shonda Rhimes a few times, and certainly she's an inspiration for me in television.
I'm in a great place because I trust people behind the camera as I go off, and I still go back to my day job and do film.
Some of my friends don't have a cell phone. Patti LaBelle doesn't have a cell phone.
The ratings board is completely different when it comes to film versus the television arena.
I want to see movies I can walk away from and say, 'Wait, what happened there? Hold up, what did I just see? What?' and then it connects to something that you personally, unequivocally know to be truth.
I always question if somebody else is going to love my films. I think that's what art is about - it's so individual.
That's the gift 'Precious' has given me. You really think you're telling a story about a fat black girl, and only fat black girls will understand it, and then you realize we're all Precious.
