If you look up and no one who's around you has been around you for the past 20 years, and they're all new people, I think that's a problem.

It's important to keep the people who know you well around you. It helps center you.

I've never been a part of a film before that offers such a platform into real issues, that raises social awareness and has the potential to change things.

We're always trailing, as far as the amount of roles that are written for us and the films that are being made that have black characters in them. I don't know if that's going to change.

I don't like movies that are trying to preach and trying to tell you how to feel.

Is there a way to discuss climate change without politics or religion getting in the way?

I've been doing this since I was 10 years old, inhabiting different people and playing different roles.
