“I can’t solve how you balance diversity with quality of work because, I mean, I’d like to think I’m part of the world of diversity.' CynthiaEriVo responded to Stephen King's controversial comments about diversity in art.
on Monday, "As a writer, I am allowed to nominate in just 3 categories: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Screenplay. For me, the diversity issue — as it applies to individual actors and directors, anyway — did not come up."
"That said ... I would never consider diversity in matters of art," he continued. "Only quality. It seems to me that to do otherwise would be wrong." When asked about King's comment and how we balance diversity with “quality,” Erivo said: “I can’t solve how you balance diversity with quality of work because, I mean, I’d like to think I’m part of the world of diversity."
The British actress continued, “And I feel like this year we had a flurry of beautiful pieces by people who are of diverse nature — black women, women in general — and I think you’ve seen more of it on TV, HBO particularly.” Erivo cited Regina King, star of HBO's “I think that we just have to open the doors and open our eyes to those people who are making the work,” she emphasized. “ I am one of the players. So if there’s room for me to play, then that’s what I’m going to do.
"But it is also up to those people who are used to doing things a certain way to shake up their ideas, change the way they think, change the way they cast things, change the way they line up the producers and their directors and writers and make sure that the room reflects the world that we live in,” she asserted. “That’s how I think we lean into diversity a bit more.”
