Never for one minute am I like, 'My husband, the white man, and our biracial children.' I never think about it.

There's a lot of talk about division right now in America, and I really want to unite people and go like: 'Those are my problems, too, I feel that, too."

I am very aware of the impact that television has on people, in changing perceptions.
