I was watching a video on Willem Dafoe on his iconic roles, and his passion to craft and life, and positivity, exudes from him immensely. In that video, I am surprised he remembers from which of his movies the lines came from. It made me love him more as an actor because he loves life and his job.

But then during the interview, I remembered too when I watched Kevin Spacey's interview before, admiring him and it turned out he is a creep. I was telling to myself about Willem Dafoe "please don't be a creep, please don't be a creep."

Willem seems like a genuinely nice guy though but I hope I don't get proven wrong!

When I was pretty young I was a little reflexively racist, didn't trust the black kids in my class kind of thing.

Bill Cosby's comedy got through to me. I'll be damned if he's gonna take back from me the good he gave me.

Fresh Prince also helped. Carlton showed everyone that black people could be white as fuck 😂

I loved that show as a kid. My dad and I watched it every Saturday.
