“I've made a point of trying not to play the same part and of moving between theatre and film and TV. The idea is that by the time you come back, you have been away for a year, and people have forgotten you. If you like having time off, which I do, that's a good career strategy. Or at least, it's my strategy to keep my head together.”

“By the time I reached middle school, I fully identified myself not even as biracial but just as black.”

“By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.”

“You learn just by trying and experimenting. By the time I was 14, I had my own comic strip in the Kansas City paper.”
