I think Hollywood is incredibly segregated. I've never seen any place like it. The gatekeepers who are the most progressive activists inspired to make the world better... they're better people, right? They're segregated. It's self segregated in some cases, but there's nobody Black in charge of anything in Hollywood.

The best defense for any group of people is what we do to defend other people.

Never change for the mainstream—stay in your lane, and if you’re talented and resilient enough the mainstream will come to you.

I don't want to wait for Hollywood to decide that what I do is good.

I think the artist's job throughout history has been to tell - to say things that people are inspired by.

I couldn't guarantee that someone could get off their medication. But I suspect that meditation instead of Ritalin would change the life of any kid with ADD.

It's all about the work. Nothing is going to fall into your lap.
