I think I'm an overly emotional person. I feel a lot, but I don't believe that's unique to me or that's how I am able to do the things I do.

Whatever you do, whether you're doing a television drama or a romantic comedy, you want to be relevant, to some degree.

Depending on which side you're on, maybe the police are too objective and need to be a bit more subjective.

There's something very special about knowing what you want to do and knowing the story you want to tell, but finding it together.

I can tell you from personal experience it gets a little tiring having to make the rounds on cable shows to explain 'what's up with black folks.'

When it comes to fighting for freedom, those who are willing to fight should not be limited by our bigotry. Only rewarded with our gratitude.
