• Black women must help black men understand their full potential lies not in denying black women full access to their humanity and opportunity, but in working diligently to overcome the odds that hamper our progress. Yes, some of that is self-imposed, and we must confront it; and much of it comes from outside. But without courageous and brilliant black women, our communities are greatly diminished.

• I think it's a wonderful time to be a black woman who makes films. It's a good time to be an artist period. Traditional models of making and consuming art are breaking down and being rebuilt. I find that to be incredibly exciting as a filmmaker and film marketer.

• Radical militant feminist believes that women of color and Black women in particular have written the cutting edge theory and really were the individuals who exploded feminist theory into the directions that has made it more powerful.

• Katherine Johnson nunca se quejó, simplemente era lo que era. Ella sólo dijo: "Yo sólo quería ir a trabajar y hacer mis números." Y ahí se detuvo. Pienso en eso como mujer negra en Hollywood cuando me preguntan por la diversidad. Odio cuando la gente dice diversidad porque lo primero a lo que saltas es a blanco y negro. Cuando se habla de diversidad, se habla de mujeres contratadas delante y detrás de la cámara. Hablas de personas con discapacidad, de la comunidad LGBTQ... así que odio cuando la gente piensa en la diversidad.

• ...black women write differently from white women. This is the most marked difference of all those combinations of black and white, male and female. It's not so much that women write differently from men, but that black women write differently from white women. Black men don't write very differently from white men.

• Quería interpretar papeles que ofrecieran nuevas formas de ver a las mujeres negras y a los negros en general, y lo he hecho. Y siempre, tanto si necesitaba pagar el alquiler como si no, he rechazado papeles que me parecían estereotipados. Y cuando miro mi obra en ese sentido, me siento muy feliz. Porque creo que mi trabajo dice algo positivo y eso es lo que siempre me propuse hacer.

• I felt like if I didn't write about what happened to the young men here in the South of America, the same things would keep occurring. Here in the South, young black men just keep dying - young black women, too. I couldn't live with myself if I hadn't been as honest as possible about that.

• The double jeopardy of being black and female in a racist and sexist society may well make one less afraid of the sanctions against success. A non-subservient black woman is by definition a transgressive- she is the ultimate outsider.

• I speak about androids because I think the android represents the new 'other.' You can compare it to being a lesbian or being a gay man or being a black woman ... What I want is for people who feel oppressed or feel like the 'other' to connect with the music and to feel like, 'She represents who I am.'

• Phillip Roth uses his Black women characters to make anti intellectual remarks about Black history month, begun by a man who reached intellectual heights that Roth will never attain.

My supervisor is a young black woman who's smart as a whip, and I admire her, and we get along great.
