Certainly we want to protect our children from new and painful experiences that are beyond their emotional comprehension and that intensify anxiety; and to a point we can prevent premature exposure to such experiences.

With women and women, I think there’s an understanding. Nobody knows what a woman feels or experiences but another woman. We are the nurturers, and there are times when we need to be nurtured.

Your experiences are what made you what you are today. So when tragedy happens in people’s lives, and things are left unsaid, it can be very unsettling. The lack of closure can linger.
As an actor, you have to give up all control to the director. He’s the boss and has all the power. I’m a control freak, so that’s really hard for me.

My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘blackness’ than ever before. I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong.
People are so afraid to talk about real things, but they’re experiences that everyone goes through.
