Hopefully, when my career is said and done, my life will be as well. I want to be like Ruby Dee, working until the last moments. I would like to be remembered for being a good person, a strong Christian, a wife and mother, and an actress that made an impact on the cannon of film and television, and its honest portrayal of African American women. I want to be remembered as an actress, writer, and producer that changed the landscape of film through her roles and projects and helped the careers of others.

That’s when the dream changed for me. It was then that I told myself, “You know, maybe this dream isn’t going to be as immediate as I would like, but I know it’s going to come.”

"I'VE HAD PEOPLE SAY, ‘I LOVE YOUR CHARACTER SO MUCH BUT I'VE NEVER WANTED A PERSON TO LOSE AN APPENDAGE AS MUCH AS I WANT YOU TO LOSE YOURS’ AND I'M LIKE, ‘YEAH, BABY, ME TOO’" Simmone Missick for Complex September 2017
