I try to do the same thing when I'm with young actors who are new and unsure. I try to do the same thing for them that I saw Laurence [Fishburne] and Angela [Dasset]do for all of us on Boyz n the Hood.

Nia Long
The minute your child is born, your life is changed forever. I think I've become so aware of how important balance is in life.
Nia Long
I admire the women who can have babies and jump right back to work. As a nursing mother, I couldn’t sit there and just pump all day. I needed to be close to my baby.
Nia Long
I love shoes. I am a shoe fanatic. I have a special closet in my home just for my shoes.

I'm more of a short-hair girl short hair is a lot more low-maintenance than long hair. And when you're in front of camera every day and your hair is being flatironed and blow-dried it's easier to have a weave so you don't damage your own hair.
Nia Long
Directing music videos is all about capturing images.
Nia Long
I don't think the religion makes the woman I think the woman is who she is within the religion.
Nia Long
Try to find fellowship... And try to find sisterhood... And try to find that village that can help you support your journey and your kids and your experiences. Never lose a sense of yourself throughout the process, and still pursue your dreams as a mom.
Nia Long
