This moment is so much bigger than me, This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll... It`s for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett Smith, Angela Bassett, Vivica A. Fox... and it`s for every nameless, faceless woman of color ...
Halle Berry
My character Lena is somebody who responds to people in a very simple way. I didn`t have to take myself off to a darkened room to concentrate, I just had to try and be open. It`s an interesting, subtle relationship.
Emily Watson
I got to work with my wife, Lena Olin, for the first time, which was great. I thought it might be difficult in some way to talk to one`s wife in a different way but it was so not forced.
Lasse Hallstrom
[when asked her opinion of Lena Horne] It is not my fault she can only get parts in pictures that I turn down.
Dorothy Dandridge
