More quotes by Gabrielle Union
Boys are so much drama.
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 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
In Hollywood, you play a mom, and the next thing you know, you're on 'The Golden Girls.' They age you so fast.
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.

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
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 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
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
I love romantic comedies. They're for me the easiest thing to do and the most natural to do. There's nothing natural about holding an uzi hanging out of a moving van shooting at people. That's not second nature to me, thank God.
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.
Gabrielle Union
My mom is painfully sweet she's from Nebraska.
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
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
If my real life was half as exciting as what is reported, I would be thrilled.
Gabrielle Union
I don't get enough sleep so I always have undereye bags.
Gabrielle Union
I date, but the person I date most is myself, unfortunately.
Gabrielle Union
I've dated a number of 'mama's boys.'
Gabrielle Union
I like directors who have worked as actors. They know the experience.
