More From Megalyn Echikunwoke

I felt like it was a courageous show [black-ish] from the beginning. we are a black family - we're not a family that happens to be black. but the show is not even about us being black. the show is about us being a family. that is groundbreaking - on tv, the black characters either happen to be black or they're the "black character," where everything they say is about being black. i think that's the genius.
Character Thinking Black
It’s every band’s right, you shouldn’t have to do f___ing glee. and then the guy who created glee is so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his f___ing show… f___ that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do glee.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
Movie Jobs Nice
Throughout my career i've played a lot of parts that might've been played by a man. they're human roles rather than specifically men or women. i've never been as hooked into that as a lot of women are, you know, like, 'there aren't enough roles for women.' there aren't necessarily a lot of good roles for anybody.
Men Careers Roles
Everything has to be intrinsic plot-wise in the same way, to use the linda williams analogy but to move it on a bit, as musicals - in old musicals, like in an old cole porter musical, you get the action, then they do a song, which reflects a moment - everything stops while that is being sung - and then you restart. these days in most musicals, the plot keeps moving through the song. i think it would be nice if someone constructed some pornography where the sex continues to propel you through the story.
Song Nice Moving
Our respect for the dead, when they are just dead, is something wonderful, and the way we show it more wonderful still. we show it with black feathers and black horses; we show it with black dresses and black heraldries; we show it with costly obelisks and sculptures of sorrow, which spoil half of our beautiful cathedrals. we show it with frightful gratings and vaults, and lids of dismal stone, in the midst of the quiet grass; and last, and not least, we show it by permitting ourselves to tell any number of falsehoods we think amiable or credible in the epitaph.
