Producer Quotes

There's always women of many different races on my shows, and there are always women who look many different ways, but there is still a size thing in this industry. It's hard. I mean to have to say, 'I want a larger woman to be an actor on my shows.' Or, 'Find me a larger woman,' is almost insulting to me.
There's nothing wrong with being driven. And there's nothing wrong with putting yourself first to reach your goals.
There's racist casting, and there is normal casting.
