People dance and we have a lot of music and... this might be the closet I get for a while.

So many of us are hungry for stories with more racial diversity, more truth in representation, and I am anxious to help tell those stories in the future.

I write with music. I write scenes in movies that hopefully can earn the use of some songs that are powerful to me.

There's several ways to be a journalist. One way is to be combative and take the person to task and what you have is a portrait of somebody defending themselves, which is interesting. The other thing is to slip into their world and really be a representative for all the people that love the experience of that artist, and have them get so comfortable that you become invisible and they're themselves.

And I liked that whole idea that energy comes from not disseminating your ideas and talking about them.

What you believe one day isn't what you believe the next day and I think every writer secretly believes that they may never be able to do write good song or script again, but they can.

I'm impossible to forget, but I'm hard to remember.
