I was looking to be pale, you know, like the kind of person who has that pigment in their skin where no matter what the weather is they have pink cheeks. I had a couple of friends like that. But it was all very instinctive in a way. I never really thought that much about it.

A large part of the reason I want to be so mysterious is so that I can move on and do something serious at some point in my career X years from now. It might be very difficult otherwise, because I'm... wild

Part of what I do comes from the fact that I don't know any jokes to tell. And when I do they're really flat and don't work.

I just feel in a lot of ways black people are so much looser and cooler. Just as a culture, it's so much more real.

I'm fortunately not in a situation where someone owns me.

The moment that I realized my name was going to be said in the same sentence as children and sex, that's really intense. That's something I knew from that very moment, whatever happens past that point, something's out there in the air that is really bad.

I'm the person with the final say on everything. I really love being in that position.
