“Growing, just go there,” this is man. I’m trying to be like that. I am trying to have this level of trust, trying to have this level of courage. But after you enter the industry, and understand that any action was on the screen, there was another level of action behind the screen, to fight to fight to be treated like any other man in a movie, so that they had a life at home successfully, for them to keep their care and deserve and explain them. “So it is an extraordinary challenge that its white counterparts should not take. And to tell this story and the next generation, here are all these different ways.”

We kept a standard that I don’t think anyone was. If you arrived at 9:58 and you are supposed to be there at 10, they would call you and say, “What happened? What do you mean? You are supposed to be here at 10. Either it must be great or it does not exist. “”
