The old world is quickly disappearing, and the new opportunities are opening up.

No one wants to sell to just 12% of the population for the entire length of their careers. It creates a difficult and less-profitable environment. But Hollywood has lived with that limiting mantra, and only a few black stars have managed to break through.

I really, really try to be a good servant. It makes me happy when I'm a good giver without expectations.

I'm lucky that I have a platform that I can answer my own questions.

In the end, the overriding factor in whether or not you realize your dreams is going to be you. Not the world. YOU.

I have a pilot called The Re-Education of Oliver Cooper starring the white kid from Project X where follows a black girl to a black university, like in Legally Blonde. I have so many fun projects.

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