I wouldn't change a single thing, because one change alters every moment that follows it.

I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida. It was so blatant... I had never been so described as Florida described me.

The older we get the less afraid we are.

I was not the kind of a principal player that was so in demand that eight or 10 or 12 scripts came per month.

I had two roles for which I compromised.

I learned to hear silence. That's the kind of life I lived: simple. I learned to see things in people around me, in my mom, dad, brothers and sisters.

I'm going to quit writing.
