When people don't know what you are, you get your heart broken daily.

Ads featuring real women and real beauty are such a necessary component to offset the potentially dangerous programming out there for little girls.

Spy plots are hard, really hard.

When I see somebody sun-drenched in a shot with their espadrilles and a cup of coffee, I'm like, "Your life is amazing. It's so perfect." I get drawn into that very easily so it totally worked, because the visual style sucks you in. It makes you want that.

I kind of understand now why people freak out when they see celebrities that they love, because that's how I feel about every single Muppet.

I'm lucky because I have so many clashing cultural, racial things going on: black, Jewish, Irish, Portuguese, Cherokee. I can float and be part of any community I want. The thing is, I do identify with being black, and if people don't identify me that way that's their issue. I’m happy to challenge people's understanding of what it looks like to be biracial, because guess what? In the next 50 years, people will start looking more and more like me.

Fail fast. Fail often... The most talented people in the world have bad ideas. That's a good thing to learn.
