“The last thing we need is women on TV hating each other.”
“We would be silly to say that race issues don't exist in 2014.”
“The world in which we live is diverse, and I think television and film should reflect that.”
“I get comments all the time on Twitter, and fan mail about how amazing it is to see me play Iris West: a strong woman. It's not really about her being black; she just happens to be black.”
“I didn't read comic books; that's not something that was really available to me as a child. We watched more cartoons and movies.”
“I would love to do a non-musical Broadway or Off-Broadway play.”
“My favorite part of my working day is hanging with my hair and makeup team. They keep me energized and motivated.”
“I have my insecurities, and some days you don't want to be photographed. You notice all of your flaws even if others don't notice them. Photo shoots also feel very vain because it's all about you and your looks and your face. I feel I work better on camera.”
“I didn't have an acting job when I moved to L.A. I was just naive enough to think that moving to L.A. was the next step after college. My parents were really supportive.”
