I always thought that I would just be working in obscurity in perpetuity.

Always have an attitude of gratitude.

When I got into Stanford in high school, I had some friends from school who told me that I just got in because I was black and whatnot.

Obscurity is just obscurity. There's no romance in obscurity.

Whether the theater is 1,000 seats or 500 seats or 200 seats, you have to make sure the person in the back of the theater can hear you and understand you. So there's a lot of articulation and a lot of voice in theater that really just isn't necessary when it comes to dealing with the camera.

I've spent so much of my career working intermittently, being busy and then with large swaths of time off, that it became the norm.
