“The first job I booked was on 'True Blood.' I played a blood siren.” — Jodie Turner-Smith Quote

“The first job I booked was on 'True Blood.' I played a blood siren.”

“I think about what I grew up seeing, what I didn't see growing up, and what it felt like when I did see someone who I thought that I could relate to, just living their life on screen.”

“When I first started in modeling, I went back to England, and it was really hard, because I would go around to the agencies and they would be like, 'We already have one mixed-race black girl.'”

“My first show was when I was a high school freshman, but it was at the junior class dance. My older friend and bandmate booked it.”

“I loved WWE , but in the end, I was unhappy. It was just like planning an escape from a maximum security prison. I'd released a list of potential opponents online, so when the 90-day no-compete clause was up, I had matches booked on good faith. I thought about the follow-up.”

“We have disappointments all the time in the business, and I've lost way more projects than I've booked. I've learned from every opportunity and have been chosen for some really great projects!”
