There is a face beneath this mask, but it isn't me. I'm no more that face than I am the muscles beneath it, or the bones beneath that.

"Those who think beauty is only skin deep, have lost part of their vision." ~ Tom Baker

. . . these are the times of dreamy quietude, when beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the ocean's skin, one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it; and would not willingly remember, that this velvet paw but conceals a remorseless fang.

It's a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I'd be rotten to the core

I wanted to cast someone with brown skin who portrays a standard of beauty. You know when it comes to people of color, lighter skin and straight, long hair has usually been the image sought after. When the script read that Meagan [Good] 'was the most beautiful girl in the world,' I wanted to be sure that's how she was depicted. Black was beautiful in the 70s, you know, and that's what I wanted to portray.
