Coming from a background as unique as mine, the first challenge is being able to identify chaos as chaos. For the first half of my life, I interpreted chaos as normal. Today, I am aware that I have triggers: a default way of thinking that is often not relative to the immediate moment. Therefore, in the midst of chaos, I have learned to relinquish all my premature cognitive commitments and become present.

I don't want every fan; I'm interested in fans interested in quality work, authentic archetype depictions.

I'd like to change the depictions of life, love, and adventure under what's known as the typical, overused backdrop of Hollywood.

I'm taking the indie filmmaker's approach to building my career and that approach is developing a relationship with the fans.

The Universe responds to specificity.

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.

It's extremely difficult to come across quality material. It's a competitive world.
