I didn’t think that I was powerless…But I didn’t think that I was powerful. - Regina King

It was a gift to have something else that I was passionate about, because at the end of the day, it comes down to the work and the art.

We’re in a time when film is so loud and the audience is looking for shocking. It’s hard to convince people that there is an audience out there that wants quiet stories.

I would say that I’ve tried to listen to the voice inside…Luckily, from a very early age, I was able to understand that when things don’t feel quite right, that was probably not the role for me.
