More quotes by Gabrielle Union
We don't consider black, urban films as 'indies,' though many of them are shot for under $10 million which is kind of the definition of an indie.
Gabrielle Union
I was always in the popular crowd, but I really had atrocious teeth. I was encouraged to 'do well in school, 'cause no one's going to marry you!'
Gabrielle Union
I think there's a lot of things that occur within the African-American community, that we would prefer to stay within the African-American community - that we get a little nervous when you start having scenes or dialogue that we know is going to be viewed and heard on a national or global scale.
Gabrielle Union
I don't function well in chaos, whether it be my sheets or the dishwasher.
Gabrielle Union
I can't just say one time of the year I'm going to do something different. I have to commit to a lifestyle behavioral change and just try to be a little bit better today than I was yesterday.
Gabrielle Union
I played sports year around: basketball, soccer, softball and I ran track year around, from the time I was, like, six, seven.
Gabrielle Union
I just thought acting would be something to help out with my student loans, but my first year as an actress, I made more money than my parents. That's when I realized it could turn into a career. After that, I put everything I had into it.
Gabrielle Union
What's interesting is that producers, directors and writers tend to typecast me in terms of whatever movie they've seen me in most recently.
Gabrielle Union
I want to be Miss USA or Miss America. I would bring the trophy back to Nebraska. My interests are agriculture and corn. Hey, I'm just riding this train as long as I can. As long as I'm having fun, I'll do it. When it stops being fun, I'll try something else.
Gabrielle Union
I think I'm drawn to more villain-type characters, because it's so cool to get to say all the things you want to say. In Hollywood, you get to this position where you have to bite your tongue so much. You take all your experiences of not being able to say what you really want to say, and channel that through your character.
Gabrielle Union
I don't get enough sleep so I always have undereye bags.
Gabrielle Union
After Halle Berry does her films and Queen Latifah does her films, it's left to all the black, Latino and Asian actresses to fight over a couple of roles. I opted for some TV. There's just not a ton of work in film.
Gabrielle Union
I date, but the person I date most is myself, unfortunately.
Gabrielle Union
I realized I had been keeping people around even when deep down I knew they were bad for me. I had overridden myself.
Gabrielle Union
Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you. You come to work and you laugh all day, you go home and you feel light and there's a certain feeling when you're sitting with the audience and they leave after 90 minutes and it's just pure escapism and they're happy.
Gabrielle Union
All minorities think they're immune, but we're absolutely part of the one in five that gets skin cancer! It's a myth, and myths are meant to be debunked!
Gabrielle Union
I just kind of assumed that you do a movie and then you leave and you hop onto the next thing. I never thought that people are actually buddies.
Gabrielle Union
We give a lot of others significance in our lives even when they don't deserve it. It doesn't matter if they're family or if you've known them forever. If they're not good for you, they've got to go.
Gabrielle Union
You want to come home to a nice firm bed with the corners tucked in so you start over, like each night is like a new night.
Gabrielle Union
If we can have drones, we can have brown people on TV, and the world won't end! We need to catch up. We are painfully behind.
