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.

I think part of being an adult is leaving the fairytale behind.

Auditioning is the worst.

Good rom-coms have some reflection of the way things are, the sign of the times.

People don't believe this, but Hollywood really is a meritocracy.

I'm a sponge. I'm obsessed with comedy. I'm obsessed with the idea that you can make somebody laugh, and I love to be around people who can make other people laugh.

You know, I definitely have an inclination to work in the public sector.
