However, Henson said she fought to get a driver due to it being an insurance liability.
They gave us rental cars, and I was like, I cant drive myself to set in Atlanta.

Now they robbing people, Henson recalled during an interview withThe New York Times.
What do I look like, taking myself to work by myself in a rental car?
So I was like, Can I get a driver or security to take me?
Im not asking for the moon.
Its stuff like that, stuff I shouldnt have to fight for.
I was on the set ofEmpirefighting for trailers that wasnt infested with bugs.
Black translates all over the world, so why wouldnt the movies?
I have a following in China of all places.
Yall not going to capitalize on that?
Dont everybody want to make money here?
Im not the person that pulls the race card every time, but what else is it, then?
Id rather it not be race, c’mon give me something else.
Im tired of hearing my sisters say the same thing over and over.
I hear people go, You work a lot.
The math aint math-ing.
And you start working a lot, you have a team.
Big bills come with what we do.
We dont do this alone.
Its a whole team behind us.
They have to get paid.
