I don't have one role that I want to play. I guess... I want to be a producer. I want to be an activist. I want to be proactive in bringing about work for men, women, boys, girls, everybody who is good at what they do and deserve a shot at it.

I don't ever want to be the type of person to tell you what to think or what to believe. Whatever stage in your life that you are in, I want you to organically reach whatever conclusions that you possibly reach.

I have experienced loss in my life, but the thing that brings you back is your faith.

If you go through life and you don't find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence.

Unfortunately, there's a lack of roles for women of color, so you actually have to be the engineer creating some of those roles.

It is important to learn as much as you can about the person and then throw it all away so that you're not in any way doing some sort of mimicry.

The one thing that I realize - well, not the one thing, but it was a big thing - having in my head that I need to get healthier. It's been a very gradual process for me.
