My dad has totally taken my Cat Stevens T-shirt, but it's OK; I have his Black Flag one, and that's amazing.

I think it's important to represent black women and our natural hair. Not wearing a weave is totally beautiful and acceptable.

I'm happy to just sit in a cafe and watch people. It's my favorite thing to do, for sure.

I would fly to Los Angeles just for a cheeseburger with pickles and extra tomatoes from In-N-Out.

This might surprise you, but I do feel like I have, because the shooting of all these films was spread out, for the most part. They just happen to be coming out at the same time.

When you're making an independent film and you care about it so much you do all the prep work beforehand.

That's the most important thing in art: to be aware, pay attention, be inspired - but it should come ultimately from you.
