love
I would come to L.A. for a job, but I love New York.
film intention
My intention is to do more films.
clueless firsts auditions
My first audition was an open call and I had no picture and no resume - that's how clueless I was. I just thought I could show up.
real different four
I'm in awe of how grounded Ms. Tyson is and how her performances can be different but the same. She can switch up the delivery, but it's still with the right intention. Her words are effortless in terms of their meaning and how she inhabits them. She's been doing Trip to Bountiful for four months, and it still feels real. She's pretty amazing.
real character stories
I want to tell authentic, real stories with real characters.
new-york believe talking
I grew up in New York and I've always lived here, so I look at myself as a regular person. When somebody recognizes me from the film - and it can be a wide range of people, which shows the power of film - I feel like they're talking about someone else we both know. I just find it hard to believe that anyone would stop me to share how much they loved something that I was a part of.
handle
I have a Twitter handle, but I never sign on.
senior college class
I took acting classes in my senior year in college and I loved it.
president nominations assuming
I assume Obama knows about stop and frisk, so this is not the person that should be the head of homeland security. I had to say something. Kelly's nomination would go against who President Obama is.
