A lot of times, black people were extremely cool, and that's how we've been commodified in TV and film. But now we're starting to see an upswing of material where we're like, 'It's cool to be quirky and weird and smart.'
I didn't want to come to L.A. without a plan. I was already dealing with my own indecision in Atlanta, so I didn't want to pick up and relocate and do the same thing in a different area.
Typically, I'm very happy-go-lucky.
I know a lot of people who thrive on self-tapes, but for me, it does come down to first impressions. I like to be in the room, I like to talk to the people I'm acting with.
