Sound Bite: Angela Bassett – “Voletta Wallace” - Notorious
Absolutely, you know, such a life, such a rich life, full life, less than 2 hours, there’s a lot you have to leave out, that you wish you could tell and there’s um, a lot you have to shift around, for instance, um her finding the mashed potatoes under the bed and the just the recognition of what it is, there not any mashed potatotes, (talk), huh? She actually didn’t find out till after his passing, (talk) exactly what that was to make that connection, but for the sake of the movie and what he was involved in. |

about what she knows about Rap
Sound Bite: Angela Bassett – “Voletta Wallace” - Notorious Much, much, you know an awareness of it, I certainly knew he was a force to be reckoned with, he and Tupac at the time, they were a force to be reckoned with, and of course, you know weather it’s, you know Dre or Snoop or you know, EZ E, who was one of the, along with Cube was one of the first to come on the scene with NWA and of course his passing, so I know a little bit more than I thought I did, but not a whole bunch, (she starts to laugh) |

Sound Bite: Angela Bassett – “Voletta Wallace” - Notorious
Yeah, but he also like say was his father, his father was you know was in that life, you know, maybe heard enough about it from his Mom of not knowing his father but knowing where that road leads, where the (talk) that road leads to death, so you know he took another path. |

Sound Bite: Angela Bassett – “Voletta Wallace” - Notorious
Yeah, yeah the beginnings of that, yeah but, huh, wasn’t able to, well unfortunately, yeah early 20’s (talk) and still a great mystery behind it, so that is saddest most you know, human part of it to me. |

On working with Biggy’s Mom as producer
Sound Bite: Angela Bassett – “Voletta Wallace” - Notorious Yeah, yes met her before, met her before we started filming and of course she was on the set every single day, I think only one day she was not there. |

Sound Bite: Angela Bassett – “Voletta Wallace” - Notorious
Oh yeah, I think, until we know better, you know, sometimes we get caught up, you know, and I think that it’s easy, it seems to be easy for men to get caught up, you know, in what you never could have, but now because of a certain, you know, power, mystic, now you can have what you couldn’t have, so you think perhaps that’s what you want, until you have so much of it, and you figure, no it’s not right, then I think you return hopefully as you mature then you return to a place, where, you know, as we said, “how would he treat his mother?”, (talk), return to the lessons, that you are taught, that your mother taught you, that your parents taught you, you know, on how to respect others, because it’s all about that, so on one hand you’re demanding that, for yourself, but your not, your not exhibiting that to others, but I think you know as you mature, hopefully those two selves come together, and you desire respect, but you give it also, weather it male, female, young, older, black, white, whatever the case may be. |
