I think I’m a stronger comedic actress than a dramatic actress.
You guys just fell for the drama side.”
(True, but she’s just so good at it.)
“I want to play a man, like I want to really disappear.
I have so much to do.”
She also spoke to how long she’d like to fill the role as matriarch Cookie Lyon onEmpire.
“Well of course, I want it to go into syndication,” she said.
“It’s not like it’s a bad job.
You see how much fun we have.
Even with the crew, you’ve got the option to feel the energy on this set.
So it’s not like it’s a bad job.
But what I’m starting to find is that now I’m getting more offers for features.”
She’ll be back onEmpirewhen the drama returns Wednesday at 9 p.m. E.T.
on Fox and is also setto play the title assassin-turned-good in the upcomingProud Mary.
The question remains, though: Which Marvel superhero should she play?
