If I don't work very often, it's because what I read is written for formidable actresses, but actresses who make a habit of playing with their cup half full.
If I need to cheer myself up, I will put on some fabulous '40s musical on video. But I'm very lucky; I seldom get depressed. Without question, I'm a 'glass half full' person. In fact, it's three-quarters full!
I always look at things half full and definitely see a change in how things are going as far as black actresses and their opportunities.
Like everybody, you get nights where you feel completely depressed. You start thinking about all the bad things and think about the glass half empty - instead of half full. There's no explanation for it.
Remember to look at your glass half full and not half empty. A lot of my strength comes from God. God has given me a gift - the gift of life - and it's amazing that I live each day.
In hockey, sometimes a shift can go for a minute and a half, full out.
