I think for me, wearing the helmet and being part of the Stormtroopers felt so strange. Like, so this is what it feels like to just be one of the many. And to look the same, and to have to do the same thing. To be under the same orders. This is what it feels like.

I feel like I’ve built up this persona of always being positive and always being happy, and I worried if my audience sees me not in that light, will they think less of me? Will they discredit me? Will I just be nothing?
I do this acting thing mostly for myself. I like to make a connection and communicate with the audience to make myself feel less lonely. I also do it to develop my own character, so sometimes I do it to just be away in a certain area that I’ve never been to. But mostly, the story has to do something for me.
There are so few roles out there. And even if it is a film that could be led by a black actress, how many times is that film going to get funded? Let’s just be real. But it’s not just black people. It’s Asians, it’s Hispanic people if you’re not Salma Hayek. It’s hard. It’s hard to get films funded.
I’ve had people tell me that I should just be sad and not joke around on Twitter, but they don’t understand that joking and being deeply sad are very close to each other. I’ll have a horrible memory that I find hysterical one day, and the next day I’ll cry about it.

This is what I believe about performing: There is no reason to be on stage – there is no reason to be there – if you’re not going to put all your baggage somewhere else and just be honest. Whatever you’re doing – screw it up, do great – just be there, and be honest. That’s the most important thing.
We’re learning a lot from large international competitors… As we go international, we’re looking to add something unique to the market. And so when we do go international, it won’t just be as a taxi service.
We have this time to meet and do something, or just be together, and then we lose it and move to another kind of time, another kind of being, I guess. Those left behind must mourn, remember, and live on as we know.

A heartsong doesn’t have to be a song in your heart. It doesn’t have to be talking about love and peace. It can just be your message. It can be your feeling. Some people might even call it a conscience, even though that’s not really what it is. It’s your message, what you feel like you need to do.
Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

I love, love songs, but sometimes it’s okay to just be young and talk about something other than getting married or falling in love.
I did a show with Tori Kelly, and it was really cool that I got to meet her. She has always been a huge inspiration of mine, and I’m obsessed with her voice, so it was great to get to talk to her about the industry. The best advice she gave me was to just be myself.
You got to be able when you get the ball, slow it down, read the defense, call for a pick, and go off a pick-and-roll instead of going isolation all the time. Just be able to use that screen.

I don’t think it works to just be mad at them – Maxine Waters out ranting and kicking down the doors. It would be so easy to dismiss you and marginalize you.
The problem is some of our riskier films just don’t make as much money. But if you only make films that will just be commercially successful, then you can also sink yourself as a studio.

You don’t have to be an angel, just be someone who can give.
Most times, Mother Earth’s resources are used up without the realisation that these thoughtless actions might just be the root cause for the hardships future generations may face. It is everyone’s responsibility to hand over a green, clean, and healthy environment to them.
