I don't think one should be comfortable standing on a stage with people applauding and laughing at every stupid thing you say.

I wish I had fair justification for not being as informed as I should be, but I don't.

How can you work in film and still see the overt racism that exists in film and not just be furious all the time?

I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.

For me, I'd rather have an intense experience than not.

For as long as I've been making movies, I really don't know a lot of the technical side. I mean, I've actively and consciously tried to avoid learning that stuff. I just want to be open and receptive to what's happening in the moment, and I don't want to force anything.

I'm very thankful for the people that I've had the opportunity to work with. I have a good life. It's been amazing. I'm not complaining. It's not like acting has ruined me so I have to leave. It's not that. I'm just done with it.
