I want to live a full life - period.

You always make a film with the hope that all types of people will want to see your work and that it doesn't matter about your color, but unfortunately it still does.

When you look at "American Crime" and you have the character Terri LaCroix is a pharmaceutical executive - why does that character always have to be white?

People love to see themselves on screen in a way that makes sense and seems on point.

I've tried to be flexible in my career by doing a little bit of everything and that's worked for me.

I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isnt always the best way, and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it.

I think I've been lucky in the regard to have a team that sees me as an artist.
