Those are the insecurities. Finally owning how I look.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you mean by that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I think we&#8217;re not necessarily told that, you know, dark-skinned Black girls are the prettiest girls,&#8221; Erivo said. &#8220;And the only person that really is telling you, thankfully, is your mother. It&#8217;s up to you to figure out that for yourself, and to start owning what beauty is to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re really close with your mom. You&#8217;re not with your dad?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As you&#8217;ve gone on to have more and more success and visibility, how much do you think about your dad?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t necessarily think about him too much, only that I wish him well,&#8221; Erivo said. &#8220;When I was a teenager, [I was] very angry at what that relationship was. That sort of fractured relationship I have with him, I think, originally was one of the driving forces of, you know, you want to do well because you want to prove that you&#8217;re good enough to be loved. But then, you have to start learning how to do it for <em>you<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What happened with your dad?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had a falling-out that just never repaired,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And he just left early on?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s interesting that you trace some of your desire to find success to a desire to \u2013&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To be loved,&#8221; Erivo said. <\/p>\n<p>The 38-year-old lives in Los Angeles, but grew up in London. &#8220;London really is kind of what made me,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>Her parents were immigrants from Nigeria. Her mother&#8217;s drive for a better life was formative. &#8220;My mom made a decision because she wanted more for herself. To do that is a really brave thing. And I think that watching her do that made me do the same \u2013 you sort of are given the tools to be determined enough to go after your dreams.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Her roles show range: Her portrayal of abolitionist Harriet Tubman in the 2019 film &#8220;Harriet&#8221; led to her first Academy Award nominations, for best actress and best original song, and secured her a place on the red carpet, where she speaks through another sort of language: fashion. &#8220;I think they&#8217;re the words without the words,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>I asked, &#8220;What do you feel like you say with how you dress?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I tell people I&#8217;m a bit of a daredevil, that I am a kind rebel!&#8221; she replied.<\/p>\n<p>Incredibly, she dared to sing live on the &#8220;Wicked&#8221; set while flying in a harness.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/3mPq5ae03SA?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1\" data-optanon-category=\"essential\" data-height=\"113\" data-width=\"200\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption><span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/3mPq5ae03SA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wicked | Cynthia Erivo: Flying, Stunts, and Singing<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/wickedmovie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wicked Movie<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I asked, &#8220;How does singing live in a film like that change the final product?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, you can play,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It means that you can act on impulse. \u2026 You have more breath, more space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It lets the performance change?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s right.
