You see the media version (of the South), which is often a caricature or cartoon,

Everyone is unique. They, who say no, have never seen their caricature.

I didn't want to make a caricature version of Elektra.

I'm not going to become a costume version or caricature of myself; I like to morph.

My biggest regret is that I've assisted the media in making me into a cartoon character. I don't regret what has happened to me, but I regret the way I have dealt with it.

I realized all the stories I was interested in were Southern stories, ... They are who I am and I needed to understand where we (in the South) come from and who we are.
