- [2018] One of the things I experienced growing up was how beautifully tolerant and accepting many parts of the Western world were and still are.
- [2018] I know for a fact there are a lot of projects where you can't get in the room because of the colour of your skin, in any other profession that is illegal. Making film and TV is storytelling, and storytelling should be colourless.
- [2018] Isn't it a shame that a quota system is required [in the US] to make producers and executives and commissioners bring in people of different colours for roles they would not be considered for previously?
