It's always fun to put on bell bottoms and have your butt hanging out and hip huggers.
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.
I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.
That's what he was saying, the civil rights movement - judge me for my character, not how black my skin is, not how yellow my skin is, how short I am, how tall or fat or thin; It's by my character.
Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.
Me, sexy? I'm just plain ol' beans and rice.
I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.
Oh, there's going to be debate because you're dealing with the Bible and religion is supposed to be separate from state and that to me is already a conflict before it even hits the gay issue.
Well, thank you and that's for them, but for me, I want to look back at a body of work where when you do the research and you explore the psyche of a character, where she's been, where she is and where she's going.
I'm an Air force Brat and I've lived all over the world and this country and there were people in my community who were gay - nurses, hairdressers, designers - people who just had a different way about themselves.
Today, many people are engaging in same sex relationships and saying they are not gay.
I don't know how I did it, but I worked 7 days a week.
I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.
I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
You can be on top of everything, and the next minute, you're going to be on the bottom.
I am really blessed and very grateful for it.
It makes me forget that I'm not going to be a major star and lead female in films whether it was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, five or in the future.
Women are allowed more freedoms and we're fighting for more freedoms, we're experiencing more freedoms won.
There are just certain realities about our world and I just happen to be creative within it.
