00:00People love to tell you what you can't do.
00:02People love to tell you you can't.
00:03I've had an executive tell me, well, why are you still doing theater?
00:06Why are you still acting?
00:08Or why are you still doing that?
00:09And it's because, you know, I feel like writing makes me a better actor
00:12and acting makes me a better writer, you know?
00:16I really have to get inside of somebody.
00:18One of my favorite things when I'm writing is that no matter who's speaking,
00:21it's right when I'm writing them, right?
00:23And the same thing when I'm acting.
00:25If you're speaking and I'm talking to a character,
00:26even if, you know, Jordan believes it's wrong,
00:28no, I'm 100% right, play with me, you know what I mean?
00:32And I think that, you know, what's beautiful about everybody up here on the stage
00:36is that we kind of do what blackness is meant to do,
00:39which is break us out of the box, you know?
00:41We break us out of the norms of what Hollywood tells us
00:44that we need to do the stories that we need to tell
00:46and how we need to tell them.
00:48And yeah, it's just a process.
00:50It's definitely a process, but it's,
00:52you have to believe in yourself before other people believe in you.
00:58And yeah, it's just a process, but it's just a process.
