What would America be like if we loved black people as much as we loved black culture?

Don't denounce our pain as savage. What's savage is the cruel inhumanity and brutality of the police. Condemn that.

If you work hard, it will pay off.

My mom reminds me that all things are possible.

I wonder how many college tuitions could be paid off with the amount of money spent by Minions on advertisement.

There's so much power in allegory, to form ideas and learn lessons that you can actually take and apply to real life. I think that's why I originally really loved fantasy and reading.

It's hard to find black roles that are just whimsical and fun and colorful. And I think, in many ways, that can be just as powerful in making commentary about race through movies.

The internet has allowed me to just be authentically myself, as opposed to having to perpetuate a certain image, and so I'm lucky that I don't have to fit into a certain box.

I think there's this great disconnect between youth culture and politics, which is a product of how our capitalist system works.

My activism does not need proof to be real. It exists in the work of my bones against weight in the morning.

If your heart, head and gut are telling you the same thing, then you owe it to yourself to chase it.

I work hard and have a winning attitude.

We will not leave this nation at the mercy of YouTube and Facebook.

Well, my great lesson with that was I went to the same production twice - once completely high and once completely sober - and both times were equally wonderful.

I came to London. It had become the center of my world and I had worked hard to come to it. And I was lost.
