America is grappling with cultural diversity, and I just want to put a show on that represents the world in which I live.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've just always been a proponent of having a lot of diversity in the shows I've done. I just think that's the world we live in.
If the United States is the melting pot of the world, you need entertainment - you need visuals that represent that.
I want to show America who I am and inspire young kids.
You want entertainment in general, every aspect of it, to be more of a reflection of the diverse world that we live in.
I want to have a cultural impact. I want to be an inspiration, to show people what can be done.
We live in diverse communities with all sorts of people from all sorts of different backgrounds. The more our entertainment can be a reflection of the world we live in, the better it is for all of us.
America is rather like life. You can usually find in it what you look for. It will probably be interesting, and it is sure to be large.
I would love to see more diversity on all sides, and not just in terms of women; we need people from different walks of life making films.
I like America's diversity and its landscapes.
In all my shows, I'm not interested in the iconic shots of the Capitol and the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. I'm always interested in trying to get the culture of the place - trying to get it right.
