I feel comfortable working with people who are secure in themselves and confident in what they do.

If you are courageous enough to be still, you are a step closer to becoming empowered.

When faced with emotional pain, I become still for hours, sometimes days, doing absolutely nothing. It helps me get to the truest source of my suffering.

Writing a funny story is one thing. But writing a funny story that inspires others to venture beyond their level of comfort in pursuit of their greater good is what makes me come alive.

It will be difficult if people can't get past their prejudices; I don't mean Black and White; I mean people automatically assume because a film has a predominantly Black cast, that it is a particular quality of film.

I always try to get as personal as I can with the characters that I play, which is a reason why I don't play a lot of characters.

I'm not really volunteering for no family films. I really like the sweet spot of being able to be edgy and controversial.
