The African American community is so under-served in the entertainment industry.

I feel like my public life isn't necessarily my own. I'm starting to get used to how to maneuver and operate in New York in a way that I don't get stopped all the time. I just pretty much say "Thank you." But one of the things is to try to keep moving. Not to stop too long, because people try to get into a conversation with you all the time. The hardest thing is on the subway, or when people try to chase you down.

Art is art, and journalism is journalism.

Nothing will ever top 'The Wire.' It was historical. It was black cinema.

Sometimes you have to say, "No. This is my space." If you're going to come at me, come at me respectfully, and I will respond respectfully.

I can only speak as an American, but most journalism here isn't doing its job any more. It's about selling stuff.
