The reason I namecheck restorative justice so much is because that, to me, is the utopia. It always makes me super nervous how many tech companies don’t have data ethicists. I’m a weird goofy dork. I know that if enough people shout a falsehood, people start to think it’s true and a lot of people …
Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that’s when you’re most beautiful. I’m happy to just sit in a cafe and watch people. It’s my favorite thing to do, for sure. I identified with white culture, and I wanted to fit in. I didn’t identify with black culture. Like, I didn’t …
I like peace and quiet. It’s like I’m a loner. My mom and dad are from the streets. My mom’s from Chicago. My dad’s from Memphis. My dad got out of school and got with my mom. They were hustlers. They were from the streets. They were doing their thing. The streets ain’t got no …
Nothing’s going to come to you by sitting around and waiting for it. When ‘Ruby Sparks’ came out, I had to do so many interviews where I had to explain the film and my politics. And I think there was a willful misunderstanding by some people. They thought the movie was trying to perpetrate the …

I don’t have regrets, life is too short. You have to think about the positives and move forward. I love a good cup of tea and you can never have too many mugs. Even better if it’s homemade pottery, inspired by ‘The Great Pottery Throw Down.’ Someone taught me this really lovely thing, which is …
At Barca, players were banned from driving their sports cars to training. I think I’m like wine. The older I get, the better I get. I do not need a trophy to tell myself that I am the best. I know I’m good enough. I don’t need to show it to you. Either you know …
You may go through a lot of good times, you may go through a lot of bad times, you just have to try to prepare yourself as best as you can, and for me, that’s just sticking with my family. I’ve looked up to Michael Jordan because not only was he an assassin on offense, …
My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people. I was born by myself but carry the spirit and blood of my father, mother and my ancestors. So I am really never alone. My identity is through that …
