Every single thing in my life is built around race.

In L.A. you can hide. I can hide at the beach, hide up in the hills. In Miami everybody is looking at you.

Lil Wayne is a music god!!!!

I think there's grays in characters if you look at all the great characters, those characters that have those layers of being good and being bad and what's the struggle. It's always more interesting to watch.

Guys don't adapt as well as women do to getting their heart broken for the first time. It's tragic.

In looking at Hollywood and its structure, the director controls the medium, and I want to be in control of certain things. I want to be able to get my own ideas and my own feelings out there, and the only way to do that is to be behind the camera.

That's what's great about the arts. Everything inspires you, and you get a chance to grow from watching other people and how they do their work.
