Every little kid has always wanted to be a race car driver. This gets some of that out.

I wanted something where I could have the clearest and most unfiltered artistic and creative voice.

My grandmother was born in 1900, and she would regale me with tales I call 'Little House on the Prairie' tales, but they were tales of segregated and racist America growing up in Alabama and Mississippi, where she came from.

America is grappling with cultural diversity, and I just want to put a show on that represents the world in which I live.

Don't let anyone try to tell you who you are. Define yourself.

My father was a doctor.

I, myself, identify myself as a heathen.
