My autobiography was simply the story of my life.

To simply wake up every morning a better person than when I went to bed.

I knew what it was to be uncomfortable in a movie theater watching unfolding on the screen images of myself - not me, but black people - that were uncomfortable.

I'm going to quit writing.

So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.

But I always had the ability to say no. That's how I called my own shots.

I was the only Black person on the set. It was unusual for me to be in a circumstance in which every move I made was tantamount to representation of 18 million people.
