Sometimes, you need someone to believe in you when you don't believe in yourself.
You can't share your magic with everyone. Your job is to live within your magic. And if other magical people find you, then let's go and make a brew.
I always say I'm not going to work: I'm going to play with my friends.
I never thought that 'Atlanta' would go off and do what it was gonna do. I never thought that I would get recognized for that show the way that I have been.
My father had one of the biggest vinyl collections I've ever seen.
When I was three years old, one of the first albums I ever heard was Michael Jackson's 'Off the Wall.'
I love that you can just walk into the club and hear Young Jeezy or hear Fetty, and it's on.
I don't think I'm going to be back on 'This Is Us.' I think that Uncle Ricky had his moment; he did what he had to do.
On top of trying to find my way in this business and losing my mother and trying to figure out what family meant to me and everything - 2016, there was a lot of anger from me and a lot of anger all around. I think the hardest part was to really realize that all these things, it's worth it.
It's really humbling and gratifying to see that people are finally realizing that we are talented and we have things to say and that our stories are just like your stories. There's no reason that anybody from Wisconsin or Turkey can't relate to 'Atlanta.'
I'm very grateful, first of all, for my friends and my family because they keep me grounded, and they make sure I'm taking care of myself and that I'm keeping my sanity about me.
I stay in contact with my castmates from 'Atlanta' almost every day.
Aja Naomi is one of my good friends.
I love the element of surprise, throwing people off of what they think they know about what I can do and who I am. I just want to keep doing that.
Hug your mom. Hug your mom and thank your mom.
There's something about being onstage, man. No matter what age I am or where I'm going, theater will constantly be the thing that accepts me and embraces me.
You can put Trump in the White House, but you need to prepare for a revolt because I'm going nuts.
My sisters were teenagers when I was born, so the last thing they wanted was a little nappy-headed boy running around. I would imitate them or copy things off TV.
At Morehouse, I found myself and my voice, and I didn't want to lose that at Yale.
Atlanta has become and has always been a place where you create your own universe.
