The audience will show up if you have authenticity. LIKE 'Moonlight,' there was stuff in there that is so SPECIFIC to that community where the filmmakers grew up. Even if I don't understand EVERYTHING they're TALKING about, I will LOVE it if I feel that it's real.

I'm WRITING from a PLACE of - a center of AUTHENTICITY, somewhere that only I know how to write from.

When I CAME into the industry, and as I continue to be in it, PART of my authenticity is the fact that I SPEAK my mind.

If I go way back to Loretta Lynn, I always cite her as being able to capture what I THINK is EVERY WOMAN's story... she very openly used her art as an EXPRESSION of what she was going through in her life. So that authenticity is something I ADMIRE.

Sephora has ALWAYS been the best, in the SENSE that they love me for me and that they let me be me. That's the COOLEST part. I think that's why the products are GREAT - because there's a sincerity and AUTHENTICITY.

I think people can READ authenticity and they KNOW when you're involved and when you're just slapping your NAME on SOMETHING.

My experience is authenticity and honesty ALWAYS works BEST with people my age and younger, and even older. Millennials specifically REALLY respond to KEEPING it REAL about your opinions.
