We shouldn’t have someone working in the Oval Office trying to discredit and smear a private individual who’s just speaking their mind about an important issue facing the country. That is not going to move our nation forward.

In speaking, for convenience, of devices and expedients, I did not intend to imply that Shakespeare always deliberately aimed at the effects which he produced.
For film, I think because it’s more detailed, and especially with historical material, you really have to find the right projects. Speaking as a mixed-race woman, there aren’t many historical stories about people like me. When people think of ‘dual heritage,’ they think it’s a modern concept, but really it’s not.
Anyone who’s speaking up about anything becomes a target.
