About this Quote

In this quote, Gabrielle Union expresses her individual preference and convenience within the acting profession, using romantic funnies as a recommendation point. By stating, "I love romantic funnies", Union implies an authentic satisfaction and passion for this genre. She views these movies as both "the easiest thing to do" and "the most natural to do", recommending an affinity and familiarity with the themes and dynamics usually present in romantic comedies-- such as humor, love, and interpersonal relationships.

Union juxtaposes this comfort with an action film circumstance that includes "holding an uzi hanging out of a moving van shooting at individuals". This images starkly contrasts the easy going and relatable nature of romantic comedies. The action scene is described as something that does not feel natural or instinctual to her, highlighting the harshness she feels towards roles or scenarios that involve violence or high-intensity action.

By adding, "That's not force of habit to me, thank God", Union draws a line in between her personal values or identity and the often glorified violent functions in action movies. The gratitude she expresses suggests a choice for functions that resonate more closely with her individual experiences or emotional realities.

Overall, Union's statement highlights a more comprehensive commentary on the nature of acting and how different categories may line up or encounter an actor's personal disposition. It highlights her disposition towards roles that feel authentic and simple and easy, aligning with her interpretation of what feels real in her craft. All at once, it suggests an awareness and perhaps a review of the glamorization of violence in media, and a conscious choice to align her deal with her individual beliefs and comfort zone.
