What a film, and what a voice, Taraji.
Your voice was carrying through the film!
Did I surprise you?!
“I can’t carry my burdens and the characters', that’s too much and something has got to give."
Well, I never sang like that.
Like It’s hard out here for a pimp aint it.
It’s a hook to a song, you lay it once and they loop it.
This was different, this is technique right here.
You showed us, you have a voice.
Im expecting an album.
turns to her team What I say?
What did I say!
What should other Black cultures around the world take from this masterpiece?
This is a story about humanity.
The story transcends colour, in my opinion.
Everybody knows trauma, they know love, trials, and tribulations because thats just life.
This film deals with so many dark themes, like you said trauma.
What do you do to wash that off after filming has finished?
I didn’t have time.
I think that speaks to how much of an amazing actor you are.
Well, I mean my body is my instrument.
A pianist doesnt have to think about the notes, their hands just do it because its in them.
So for me as an actor, thats our job.
I dont have eight hours for you to squeak a tear out or take these directions.
Thats my job as an actor to understand my instrument.
So understanding your instrument and knowing what is right for just you.
If you had the opportunity to play any other character in this film, who would you pick?
I think Blitz did an amazing job in casting this, we were all hand-picked.
And its clear you were all perfect for your roles.
