- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I see the world from a very specific perspective. It is how I grew up. It is what I am proud of, and I vocalize it. And for those who have not experienced my experience, it is odd, and it's not mainstream.
- Camera

- Nov 07, 2020
I went from off-off Broadway. I would direct plays in Baldwin Hills. Almost Tyler Perry-like, really trying to express myself in that and not really knowing how to, knowing acting in story, but not really knowing how to technically hold a camera.

I want to go to places that are unexpected of me because people really think they have me pegged.
- Democracy
- |

- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I come from a family of domestics. I think most African-Americans of my age do. They were trusted by their bosses. I have met so many white people that spent more time with their nannies than they have with their own parents.
- Me

I don't know what gives me more pleasure: watching my story unfold or going in and watching a room full of black people talking for me and writing words for black people.
- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I hate white people writing for black people; it's so offensive. So we go out and look specifically for African-American voices.
- Partner
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a partner, Danny Strong; he's an incredible writer and, really, my backbone. So when we don't see eye to eye, it's painful.
- God
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a very clear vision, and I come from film, where director is God, so if there's a clash, it's painful.
- Complicated
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I believe strongly that characters are five-dimensional, and they're complicated, and life is complicated, and people are complicated.
- Grey
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like to show the grey area in all my characters.
- Black
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's very important that we don't sound like militants. Often what we do is we give a comment, and because it comes across with passion, then we're 'angry black people.'
