Mixed Race Quotes

• I guess, in a way, I grew up mixed race: half white, half black. That question's always been on my mind: 'What are you? Are you this or that? Are you a white dude or are you a black dude?' In a strange way, music and comedy is kind of the same thing. I'm both.They're just different modes of expression.

• 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.

• The first thing that always pops into my head regarding our president, is that all of the people who are setting up this barrier for him...

America's first black president hasn't arisen yet. He's not America's first black president. He's America's first mixed-race president.
