Character Quote by Da'Vine Joy Randolph
“I'm very visual. So even for red carpets, I'll create mood boards. I love a good shared photo album and to tag everyone and be like, 'look, look, look,' for hair, makeup, and clothes. I will take from history - known people in the world but also in my personal life. I will take the essence of them and insert them into the character.”
