Distance sometimes lets you know who's worth keeping and who's worth letting go.

The idea of recognizing your strengths and using them in as versatile a way as you can is cool to me.

I might just write a novel next. I don't know!

People are just afraid of things too much … Sure, evil exists, extremism exists. Somebody could commit a hate crime and hurt me. But they could do the same just because I'm black. They could do the same just because I'm American.

As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain't got to pry beyond that.

I've always wanted to make a career in the arts, and I think that my only hope at doing that is to make it more about the work.

Go for someone who is proud to have you.
