When you're in your own body, you don't feel great about yourself. I don't think of myself that way.

I'm black because that's the way the world sees me.

The older I get, the more I accept and appreciate myself.

I feel like movies should stick to a genre and give the audience what they want, and then surprise them with the unexpected, and not just do the same thing you've always seen.

I don't try to intellectualize characters too much. But I always think of the audience. I always make sure that my characters are likeable.

I'm an extremist. Either I'm being healthy and organic, or I want a big, juicy In-N-Out burger, I want it all now! It sure makes me happy.

A movie is painting, it's photography, it's literature - because you have to have the screenplay - it's music. Put a different soundtrack to a comedy and it's a tragedy. A movie combines all those forms and forces you to pay attention for two hours with a group of people.
