The black community in Hollywood is very small and close-knit. Everyone has a common goal: to make a two-hour movie in 30 days.

Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you.

I'm the kind of person whose clothes are all hung up and color-coordinated, to the point where my whites don't touch my creams.

I had to learn - since I'm divorced now and everyone is like, 'Oh my God, you're single, what's going on?' - that if I don't like to spend time with myself, how can I ask someone else to enjoy spending time with me? I'm getting to learn how to enjoy my solitude and have a good time.

When you want a break from dogs, and you take them to the kennel to the stars, no one thinks you're a bad pet owner. But when you have kids, you can't drop them off for three weeks without someone calling Child Protective Services!

I decided to follow my dreams and my passions and to always have an adventure, no matter what it is.
