- "I am attached, I think, [to Lando] but I don't really know. The last thing I was told was that they loved it but needed to put a pin in it until they could figure out everybody's availability. I haven't investigated further, but I'm not an idiot. I'm not alone in that experience. But I can't help but wonder, 'Am I too Black? Am I too queer? And people just don't want to say that?' Because it seems like I develop things with these companies and they just never happen for reasons unknown."
