There's a difference between actresses of color and actresses not of color. If you look at how big my movies are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.
I'm hard to pin down. I tend to look different in films.
I've had some great times with actresses, but that's in a movie.
So you see, movies are really another dimension.
I'm not really an actress.
When you have 20 nominations - 20 names on the nomination list of best actor, supporting actor and actress, etc., and there's absolutely no representation of color whatsoever, I think that's a subset of perhaps a bigger problem.
There are so many glamorous actresses, but you know what? In the real world, nobody looks like that.
There's no such thing as a standard size movie star, or woman for that matter.
Simultaneously, the movie business now experiments with a colorblind approach to casting.
The whole series is black-and-white, so when I went to shoot one of the women I only had black-and-white film with me. She had reddish hair and was a very pretty girl, a nice girl.
