The Civil Rights for Musicians Act is about economic justice for African American artists. It's about what's right. And it's about time. ↗

If I am a cup maker, I'm interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it. ↗

You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity. ↗

It's simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they're done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it's what they see. That's where my head is at. ↗

The time to worrying about flying is when you're on the ground. When you're up in the air, it's too late. No point in worrying about it then. ↗

I really love research. It's one of the things I love most about my job. I feel like it's me in the lab cooking up the character. ↗

About a year ago I got really exhausted from reading bad scripts and I know that I am a writer and that I have stories to tell, so I thought, 'Let's do this!' So I'm co-writing a screenplay now with another screenwriter and loving it. Absolutely loving it. And I would like to be the producer on the project and of course the lead is me. ↗

I think sometimes in life we want to ignore the problems of society and just think about the good. I believe in positive thinking and affirmative living, I also think it's really important to remember all of our disenfranchised members of society. ↗

People don't think about the fact that when Barack Obama's parents had him - it was illegal for them to be married in several states in this country. So if we start making it okay that certain people can marry and other people can't, it's a slippery slope of civil rights. Who knows who is going to be allowed to marry or not marry next. ↗
