Prisons are like the concentration camps of our time. So many go in and never come out, and primarily they're black and Latino.

I have a desire to create more film, more beauty, more art, more love, but I don't feel desperate. It's not about creating or building a career.

I was literally the black sheep of the family, and there were definitely moments of discomfort while my grandmother was working through her racism.

What saddens me is the corruption of youth and beauty, and the loss of soul, which is only replaced by money.

Success made me self-sufficient, but it also took away my anonymity. I'm just this quiet nobody, and all of a sudden people are nervous around me. That was kind of weird.

We're getting ready to take over the world. My group of girlfriends - we're renegades.

I took solace in my relationship with God who, along with my dog, was my best friend growing up.
