From The Time I Became An Actor

If You're Going To Come At Me, Come At Me Respectfully, And I Will Respond Respectfully.

As I Got Further Into My Career, As A Character Of Color, If I Was Going To Have The Types Of Opportunities I Felt I Deserved, And Continue To Have Them, I Was Going To Have To Start Creating Those Opportunities For Myself.

I Feel Like My Public Life Isn't Necessarily My Own. I'm Starting To Get Used To How To Maneuver And Operate In New York In A Way That I Don't Get Stopped All The Time. I Just Pretty Much Say "thank You." But One Of The Things Is To Try To Keep Moving. Not To Stop Too Long, Because People Try To Get Into A Conversation With You All The Time. The Hardest Thing Is On The Subway, Or When People Try To Chase You Down.

I Graduated In '94 From Yale And New York Undercover Was My First Gig On Tv. I Was Really All Over The Place With Roles, Which Is What I Wanted To Do.

I Grew Up Studying Music. I Went To Conservatory.
