    ADD QUOTES
    • Angela: I would have to say honestly I was very pleased to be in a film whether it was good or bad with De Niro, Norton and Brando even if I don't have any scenes with them, I thought it was pretty good company to keep.
    • Angela: I'm thinking about directing, but I know it's a lot of work and I appreciate what directors do and I would like to be good at it. The opportunity has presented itself four to five times, and I usually said no because of the script.
    • Angela: She was hurt, but not only did it hurt her, it hurt me. We talked it through, but there are issues that I Can't reconcile myself with as an actress. As a black woman growing up in a country that has had a long history of racism, I'm sensitive to all of the portrayals of us. (When asked about her controversial remarks made about Halle Berry's role in 'Monster's Ball')
