Power Your Life With the Positive. Cyrus Webb

      Robinne Lee is a talented producer, actress and author, a woman known for movies like Deliver Us from Eva and Seven Pounds, as well as the hit show on BET, Being Mary Jane. Her fans went crazy when she joined the cast of the Fifty Shades franchise, and she spends a lot of time promoting her work, which includes her new novel, The Idea of You. Her busy life shows how much effort Robinne has put into her work, but she is always eager to share with others how her success is something they can attain as well.

      CW. Robinne, what has it been like for you to reflect on this amazing ride that you have had, not only as an actor and a producer, but now as an author?

      RL. You know, I think I am the kind of person … I am a little bit of a “Type A” person. I am very controlling, but I also don’t like to sit still.

      I feel like I need to be creating and evolving, and I think that it is important to keep finding things that feed your soul, your heart, and your brain.

      And for me, I’ve always appreciated storytelling in any aspect, and I have always written for myself for joy since I was little. I just kind of did it for pleasure. And the same with acting—it has always given me pleasure, but acting is different in the fact in the way that you are waiting for someone to give you permission to act. You kind of have to rely on other people to support you.

      Writing is something that I just sit down anywhere with my laptop and create and have something to show for it.

      CW. That control is definitely a great thing. I think so many times, even in other professions, we give up so much of our power, and we wait on opportunities that in many ways and now especially with technology and the way that the world is that we can create for ourselves. People have gotten to know you over the years because of these amazing characters that you brought to life and dramas and comedies you’ve been a part of. Do you think that also helped set the stage for where you are now with books, where you are able to bring us a little bit of laughter and a little bit of drama but also, you know, those really deep personalities you have gotten to play and gotten to know yourself?

      RL. Right! I think that it all feeds into each other. If you are a person and paying attention and living and breathing in the world, you hold onto these things. You hold onto these experiences and you hold on to all of the parts that make you who you are. At least as an artist I kind of store them up so I can use them in future projects, and whether or not it’s something that I’ve borrowed from the behavior of one character or a voice or something, it’s like having a treasure of materials that you can dip into. And so I think all of these little things that you do, everything you experience and the way you experience the world kind of really helps you as an artist, as long as you make yourself open to experiencing new things and you kind of walk around as if you don’t have any skin and allow situations in
