" In my home town newspaper it was there have. Very interesting so you know -- Hollywood yeah Hollywood they'll tell you that you and start all over again not even think -- So that's why it's time. And does it talk a little bit about your you know sort of your -- since that. -- how youth it's something. My personal journey of what happens when you fashioning a person's character. When you assassinate a person's character on -- one why. It personally fascinates you so what I do in the book if I follow her disappearance and technical case -- handbags. It's just disappeared and for. The black actress. Is here. And on the website Jenny dot com I -- actually picture of the excerpts from the book. So yeah I I very much tell my injury what happened afterwards. How devastated my entire life so it's also sort of a journal for young black actresses out there who want to know.

" And ends from some of the exits that it is here and there it back. It sounds like it better people that put them on according to you on the shipments in the -- act. It actually hurt them because nothing that they want anyone. Getting the spotlight themselves. Yes there was -- and I."

" site -- the -- which she acts so she's from the record them -- chaperone child. And I -- how she was at the table she -- so there. And it's it's -- them. And it's one. Of -- essentially because she has to. So they brought in different actors who did for -- much now. Focused -- from where. He had to always -- everything every you know every every aspect yes with -- But we -- on. Certain things they've been asked to do it simply that. That is now the -- month. If the child my son it will not drugs that wanted to just forget him and that -- She would be angry. And things like that right go into stories. That some other issues you buck the system there because that's. And I don't believe the whole Hollywood. Excesses of I can't stop the -- you comment on Hollywood. In New York."

" Bars and I'm an east coast kind of woman and that sort of mind my ideology and Hollywood's. You can't question character you can't have you can't question quality out of a role. And I did I -- this -- I was not perfect. So I have to needed that as well."

" you know that's like you actually bringing the reality. What is all of that don't let what features they call it that you were mocked or not for yet and that's kind of and it's. It's. In the past when it's right I can't speak your mind right now is what you've been hate doing -- doing law. -- but on the other hand don't they want I guess not -- wanted to know what they want and now and they wanna write what they want right now."

" Remember something -- com is. If the situation company and everything resolves itself in 22 minutes including commercials and its effect. You know people ask me what was upstairs in life. What was there have to put that won't help what there's what."

" Have fun and it's. And come to people's homes. Every. Whatever and now it's five days. And they want to pigeonhole you to believe that -- And it. Is not who lives. I gave them my card you know bones even put meat on the bones but -- Hubert is totally separate. -- Once his fastball that. The free and it's a woman. What they're.

" That's -- you said that you were you're interested in making sure that some of the real life elements of the way you know black family interacted with one another where we're we're portrayed in the show. And it. You know it seems like you know you really. We all intuitive and you see a lot of credit for pushing the envelope a little bit and doing something -- was -- in the black family living in Bel Air you know but you know that they'll push it so far but bay you know but they get to a certain line where there right into analyze it too far."

" If you fill out you know they sold out so there's very. They went you know and I'm not gonna. I was expendable. I was basically. When you know the star of the show you are definitely spend and those who want them so that it. I'm using actually the disease as well. They -- me for thirteen. On camera. And -- unit that was. That that happened. In open court it actually into an arbitration. -- it. I'm asked is it one accord and they -- court I would. And that's Iran both Germany -- it was it was. They had it right they gave me ten cents. And that means for the layperson does that mean that you've got an excellent and that's it. And the stipulation lines you can't do it starts accepted. And you can't it's so for ten weeks I would work. And then I would not be. It was designed to make -- One thing that. -- Out of your baby. You know that's that's how it with. So contractually advocates will she didn't accept. And then I asked me to go in. And tell the world that I agree. And I sense. -- You -- your apartment."

" You know you get Jack let's first. Broadway it was a show that my father. Directed at the lyrics -- at -- after. David -- green -- yeah hungrier and Jackie Robinson right and it was amazing it was like one of the most thrilling time Susie on Broadway because with all of this new creativity. It wasn't something -- yeah. Is certainly enough. The talk wasn't hit me. It's green girls just open for the first time ever for the first time that that was ever seen not only doing it does now yeah it made us a picture of stars of amazing and then this this musical and well -- it was in the shadow. And I -- this today that it was like one of the most beautiful people that it ever seen in my life. And -- sounds and it's just only its at play of running through a Batman yeah. Yeah I've never seen so. Thinking oh my god but it didn't let off the Hollywood. And then you know."

" But. This isn't a this. Way affected how fascinating it it would be and -- to catch. And me me me me me and it began. And Eva. -- times where I've never seen. -- exports. There -- decades -- lament the fact that I. You know all of the you've -- the wonderful year. And one ends and what -- she -- out. So it's happened because I wouldn't it. There a couple of them this is. -- Yeah like 83 -- easily so. That's. A great thing and and money. You -- hot. I'm about seven pounds and it's -- So I think. We've seen happening and getting it. That added. That it yet but it likely that parents. -- A fresh and different yes. -- I yes. That it I. Can't wait but then that made me. Since the -- the thing again. I think that it. It's thank you especially considering the fact that you know I'm normally get. --"

" Had a chance to respond. And that's what's been overwhelming to me is that this. Has been. -- has been unbelievable support and some of it then you know little having on them all she's not Whalen she's trying to bring down no that's not the point. -- people felt connected to that character. And they didn't she has to respond -- fine way to."

" For he talked about will. You know potentially holding down some of the other actors -- said -- starts and that kind of thing. You'll and attention because you weren't the only actor on that that -- that's real theater acting strange and yet very fact it is -- present myself as myself. -- was from six the company. -- Yeah well that's it."

" It isn't the Michael Jackson I mean that's. A monster. On. There -- it's likely yeah."

" Do you why you hire these classically trained actors and actresses and that you don't want them -- over it's time that night I that. Fox. Yeah."

" They start laying. It's a very started facts about the dance episode in the book. In I can't tell you about it because I want you read it but it's very stubborn things happen. During that deficit package meaning to fill out."

" It out. I have -- in my mind that -- not saying sounds like them. -- And -- couldn't -- name. Out. You know good. Leave it doesn't blurred -- A number."

" I think it was a joint working -- that it was not all of that at all and I think the tension really started. During that -- Because I was pirates and news and it was typical and he got a more power don't want our. And the thing about will is this it was a very charismatic young man. But there were moments where he was so egotistical that you know we would say it will just allow us as actors. -- actors to decide what books that this war machine and see if it works and before you want the rights. You know that is played with it and illustration theatre we fight. We fight like it that's in theater and it never goes in further and it shouldn't -- for that. And I would like him did you saying. At some point you know I wanna know why why you went this far to do what did what can I do. You know what they do that so terrible -- to make you go so far. That was one question for."

" made it I mean and it's still you know. Yeah that and that I mean everybody basically sent to you now. Now the oldest woman there I was James hi angels -- the grounds of a twenty."

" Well yeah."

" I was 37. At the time that thirty cent and constantly yet. It doesn't like among the odds are I would definitely came out Matt found out okay he's somewhere -- and update -- Matt says he made that character real suspect that I think that you think that and I -- that we never thought -- TV. -- I think now people hear a lot more that behind the scenes that from plugs and background. It sounds like press print people than it is here people also on these --"

" Have to be so careful because with a home Michael Jackson thing you know. When you sit behind the keyboard and you -- these things anonymously. You have to remember that. Some of us to read them and they -- do hurt and we do believe and we do have feelings. Just because you're a public alive doesn't mean that you don't feel. And so these people who sit there and it -- comments can do -- anonymously. Yeah and I say what's. -- you have that strength and conviction about what you feel you can. What does -- will handle you know peanut butter jelly."
