Tessa Thompson's quotes

• As a kid, I loved going to lots of thrift stores with my parents. There was a period where I thought it was embarrassing, and then I started to get older - I realized they were really cool.
• There was a period when I had a hard time reconciling all the different parts of me in a way that I thought would make sense to others.
• The term 'breakout' always makes me think of an inmate or some butterfly emerging out of a cocoon.
• Veronica Mars (2004) was my first job, and for some reason, my character changed her hairstyle halfway through the season from curly to - I don't even know why - suddenly straight.
• I'm sort of obsessed with Harlem. Just its history. My father did the music for a play called "The Huey P. Newton Story", and they did a lot of work in Harlem. So as a little girl, I spent a lot of time in Harlem Library.
• I grew up as a kid looking at artists like David Bowie and Prince; I really admired them.
• The truth is, no, we don't live in a post-racial state anywhere in America, and this is particularly true in Hollywood.
• Fashion is a funny thing to talk about. I think what you wear is definitely an extension of you, but I also think it's totally arbitrary.
• I think we just need to have a demand for fresh and nuanced movies.
• I try to pick interesting projects, the kind of projects that I would want to watch.
• I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I split my time between the West Coast and the East.
• I think I've realized that when you are aiming to create a real body of work, you are as much defined by the things you don't do as by the things you do.
• I think when any one kind of film does well, it creates a precedent and paves the way for more like it.
• I am multiracial, and I went through different phases - at one point, I listened to Wu-Tang and hip-hop, and then the next year I listened to Joni Mitchell.
• I eat almonds professionally, and I can't get enough of Yerbe Mate Cranberry Synergy Kombucha!
