I've Been Spared To A Large Extent

The Backstory To Anyone Of Mixed Race Is A Lifetime Spent Being Incorrectly Perceived And Choosing Either To Allow That Misperception To Continue Or To Correct It, So I Am Aware Of Identity And Race As Being Much More Fluid, I Think, Than Someone Who Is "purely" One Thing Or The Other. And Acting Does Challenge Me To Address Those Particular Issues.

A Great Book Provides Escapism For Me. The Artistry And The Creativity In A Story Are Better Than Any Drugs.

I Think Ultimately That's Why The Audience Will Tune In Longterm, For The Characters And The Relationships.
