The real important things are kindness and a sense of humor. I’ve been fortunate to have dated and could have easily married women who have those qualities, and time and circumstances didn’t work out. Timing plays a big part.
I think our biggest problem is lack of real, honest communication between black men and black women. A lot of men talk amongst men, and a lot of women speak amongst women.
‘The Conversation’ will hopefully touch on issues that will move people to want to strengthen communication and look to each other for solutions.

So many of our young women today, they’re growing up without a father, but they’re still thirsty for that and desiring positive male love.

I’ve done romantic comedy, and I don’t get to flex that muscle often.
