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.

I would like to believe that most people don't get married anticipating divorce.

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.

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

I can work inside the boundaries of Erika Murphy, or whoever the character is. It's fun to create somebody that's not you, that doesn't exist.

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

Race is a very sensitive subject.
