 THINGS BLACK ACTORS SAY:

"My career started over a cheese sandwich..."

"No One Wants To Work With You, Until Everyone Does"

"Find Out What You're willing To Do And What You're Not Willing to DO"

"Relationships can make or break you in this thing man, they will"

"Finding a manager is a lot like speed dating...even if you find an agent or manager, doesn't mean they're right for you"

"Do I take this one problematic role and spend the rest of my career trying to steer away from that? Or do I follow my heart and roll with the punches..."

"Find out what your definition of success is FOR YOU..."

"At the end of the day drive and good intention without power means nothing.....An agenda with no power gets nothing done.."
