I'm passionate about what I do. I'd be naive to be passive.

I have nothing to do with racism in America; it was here when I got here.

I don't want affirmative action - too much affirmative, not enough action.

White people are very good at acting like they're not racist. They deserve an Academy Award for that.

I love Obama because he is proof all black people don't look alike. Nobody every told me, 'Good morning, Mr. President.' We don't all look alike.

If your hair is relaxed, white people are relaxed. If your hair is nappy, they're not happy.

What does it mean to be too black for Hollywood? It's self-explanatory. Hollywood has certain kinds of blacks that they like.
