I always tell people that if you gave me a pen and a piece of paper when I was a teenager and said, "Write out how you'd like your career to go," I would have probably short changed myself compared to what it's been for real. I'm just extremely excited about what I've accomplished.
You become a writer on a television show, and you see yourself doing bigger and better things, you don't wait till they tell you, "Here's the way to do bigger and better things," you start writing. You start writing that material that you might be doing off to the side. Nobody's going to be paying you for that, but it could turn into something big.
The best thing to do is to write about what you know, and if you write about what you know you can always pull those nice little tidbits that hook people, that shows that you know about this world and can bring people into a world that they may not know nothing about.
The hardest period for a writer is the period in-between writing. That's when you can go crazy if you don't allow the creative juices to flow.
Everybody is worried about the guy with the black power, leather jacket on, Afro ... worried about those kind of people and not really knowing that racism is not just the obvious.
It was just funny to me that some of our leaders would take that much time and energy to dismiss something that was loved by so many of our people,
I'm really excited to be a part of a show that explores race in America. Black. White. will force people to challenge themselves and really examine where we stand in terms of race in this country.
Snoop is the Phil Jackson of youth football coaches. He ain't going to accept nothing but a winner.
It will force people to challenge themselves and really examine where we stand in terms of race.
What I wanted people to recognize is that racism is in all of us, in layers. Some in more layers than others. It's not just the Klan guy and the black-fist guy, and it's about peeling away those layers.
We wanted to be true to what a barbershop is, so every headline we could grab between the first 'Barbershop' and the second was in there,
Black. White' will force people to challenge themselves.
When you are cold, surrenderand die to the Heat of the Heart
There was no bigger fan of the original show than me, and I'm very excited to be able to put a new twist on it.
