" When I studied at Juilliard, I did a lot of pushups and became this diesel machine. I was really big and was like, ‘This is not a good look for an ingenue.’ " - Rutina Wesley

" I’m all about the crossover. The role doesn’t necessarily have to be white or Latina or black. It could be anything. But it’s hard in Hollywood, because sometimes it’s all about the box office. Or all about looks and things like that. It’s not about the story that they have to tell. " - Rutina Wesley
