My passion is to tell stories that reflect humanity.

I'm still trying to do films about black women.

I was able to be distant by portraying another person, another character, if you will, and I found myself not stuttering and not having anxiety attacks when I was portraying another soul, another being, and I found comfort in that. I think many actors do, playing someone other than themselves.

I was kind of a bouncy kid. I used to roller-skate into the sides of cars.

I'm a big child at heart. I think it's important to stay that way and not lose the wonder of life.

I will not be on this planet. I may come back in another form, and you know, I'll come back as a white man.

You never know how people are going to respond.
