More quotes by Gabrielle Union
I'm not going to change the world overnight. It's one person at a time, and hopefully they're people in positions of power who can help people get in those roles and really, truly embrace colorblind casting.
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
My mom is painfully sweet she's from Nebraska.
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 realized I had been keeping people around even when deep down I knew they were bad for me. I had overridden myself.
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
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
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
If my real life was half as exciting as what is reported, I would be thrilled.
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
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've dated a number of 'mama's boys.'
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
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 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
The guys I tended to date, you know, didn't necessarily have it altogether but I had a great time.
Gabrielle Union
My wish for the world would be to end violence against women. My wish for myself would be for peace of mind.
Gabrielle Union
In Hollywood, you play a mom and instantly, you've got osteoporosis.
Gabrielle Union
I like directors who have worked as actors. They know the experience.
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.
