My aim is to reflect the actual human-scape, a little bit.

The world wants to define me by my mammary glands and melanin. It is just fascinating that Michael Mann has never been asked what it is like to be a white male filmmaker.

I'm really excited about the places I've gone and the places I'm going, internally and externally speaking, and working to bring different spectrums of curiosity to life.

For me, being on set is no different than being at a dinner table or riding the subway next to someone; inevitably their life story is always more compelling than most ads in magazines and most commercials and reality TV and all the stuff we're sold and told is valuable.

Sci-Fi is incredibly challenging and has its own language. I have to speak its language; it's not going to learn mine.

I love the experience of walking into the theater, buying a ticket and all that goes with it.
