Letitia Wright quotes

I needed to take a break from acting, because I really idolized it. So I came off from it, and I went on a journey to discover my relationship with God, and I became a Christian. It really just gave me so much love and light within myself. I felt secure, like I didn't need validation from anyone else, or getting a part.

I would love to be producing movies, acting in more movies, and doing projects that are Oscar-worthy... have kids, be married, all that, being a normal human being as well, balancing it all out.

If I can be of inspiration to anyone to go after their goals and their dreams, then I feel like I'll be satisfied with that.

I'm not trying to be famous, I'm not trying to be the next whatever. I'm just trying to be someone that contributes positivity with my talent.

In my country where I was born, Guyana, we push more for education. It's more being a lawyer, doctor, teacher, or scientist.

Makeup is cool. I mean, you can turn up and feel really good and treat yourself, but it shouldn't be something you hang on to to validate your beauty or something you have to do to make you feel beautiful.

I don't need to be validated by anybody else; I don't need to be accepted or approved of for my happiness.

As soon as I was obedient to just taking a chance on God, all of these things that you're seeing - 'Black Panther' or 'Humans' or 'The Commuter' or Steven Spielberg - it came right after I took that break.

In my country where I was born, Guyana, we push more for education. It's more being a lawyer, doctor, teacher, or scientist.

So many young black women love science, technology, engineering, and maths. But that's not the widely held image of the kind of person who likes those things.

I have to also get into producing if I want to see these stories being made... Let's venture out and do projects with people of different ethnicities: not just black but also Asian actors and Asian superhero films. Just an equality across the board.

In my mind, I don't really see myself as being famous. I just think my work is being exposed to a bigger audience.

So many young black women love science, technology, engineering, and maths. But that's not the widely held image of the kind of person who likes those things.

I don't really consider myself religious. I view it more as a relationship. And if anyone thinks that's weird, then okay.

If I want to put makeup on, then, cool, I'll do that. But it's not going to be my crutch.
