He's not the type of kid that will go back and poke fun at anyone. He's really remorseful over this.
The thing that I love about The Flash and about superhero shows, in general, is that it's not about having superpowers that makes you a superhero. You don't have to be The Flash and have super speed to do the right thing. You can be a great reporter or you can be a cop, like Joe West, and still fight for the things that matter.
On a superhero show, you have to have people who are really human and who have the experience the audience is having.
I don't really dig for answers from the producers and writers that much. I let things happen the way they're going to happen.
It's nice getting to play a different version of yourself. You sign on for a show and think you're just going to play one character for however many years, so it's nice, for an actor, to have a little bit of fun.
I think it always makes for great television when two characters actually take time to realize that they want to be with each other. You have to leave it to the writers to know what makes great television.
I like seeing women defined by what they do and what they're passionate about rather than the men that they're in love with or associated with. That's always more important to me, as a female.
I try and stay away from my comment section on Twitter. But for the most part, the response that I get usually is very positive - and so it's nice.
I would love to get a role that changes the landscape of being an African American woman in television and film.
It's great to know that young black girls are seeing themselves on TV as leading ladies, and I'm part of that. It's just such an honor.
The studio is my main compositional tool. And I used to be horrible in the studio. I didn't know any kind of technical stuff. But when you have something in your head, you've gotta figure out a way of executing it.
Any idiot, any stockbroker can get out there and live out a fantasy and pretend like he's playing music. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
I guess I'm getting to the age where a lot of other people my age have real jobs, and when they're hard-up they refer to an old-timer like me.
