It’s OK to pursue speculative ideas because we don’t want to be too cozy and safe and assume that we know everything about life in the universe. However, we have to be rigorous and careful and honest and logical and scientifically meticulous when we speculate.
In the middle of the night, when you’re ambiguously ethnic, like me, when you’re brown, beige, mauve, siena, one of those lighter browns in the Crayola box. You have to be careful of the cops and robbers, because nobody’s quite sure what you are, but everybody has assumptions.
At any given moment, we each face a barrage of obligations, often disparate and distinct from what we thought would happen when we woke up.

I’m very, very lucky to be a working actor, but I’ve also been careful. I don’t just take anything. ‘Durham County’ came to me. You have to look at the quality of work you do, and ‘Durham’ set the standard. I wait for things that keep me really interested.

The grace of God is dangerous. It’s lavish, excessive, outrageous, and scandalous. God’s grace is ridiculously inclusive. Apparently God doesn’t care who He loves. He is not very careful about the people He calls His friends or the people He calls His Church.
I’m always very careful to make the distinction between music criticism and music journalism. A lot of people don’t. But criticism doesn’t require reporting. You can write criticism at home in your underwear. On the other hand, journalism takes legwork – you have to get out there and see things and talk to people.
