A lot of times in life, women want to talk, but men don't want to listen, and if they do want to listen, they turn it back to themselves.

Harlem is really a melting pot for a lot of different people.

In real life, people end up doing things because it's convenient and it works for them. You don't get up every day regretting what you're doing.

When you're casting, you get a page or two - just enough to do the scene. Now that you're in the world, you get the whole script.

That's how it works in Westerns: the hero is minding his own business and trying to make a living, but he does something, the villain finds out about it and they have to have a showdown. So it's kind of a Western set to hip hop music.

When you look at Harlem - and I lived there almost five years - most of the people who live in Harlem are transplants. They migrate to Harlem from another place. A lot of them are from the south, so they bring those southern influences with them.

I've never really been into doing a lot of social media, but it's a great way for people to talk amongst themselves on a large platform and to have a large conversation with people who also enjoy the same thing.
