Anyone who generates opinion for a living is going to get plenty of feedback, positive or negative. Some people indeed don’t like the fact that I’m a woman with strong opinions. And if they disagree with me, they are quick to point out what my gender is. I chalk it up to being the nature of people.

In the case of, like, Childish Gambino, he is someone who is a writer by trade, so he is very meticulous about how he writes his ideas.

It’s important for an actor to feel like they’re really being watched and to receive feedback and encouragement about the aspects of what they’re doing that feels truthful – and also to raise awareness when they might be resorting to habits and tricks, which every actor has.
