I Have A Lot Of Very, Very

I First Felt Successful When I Was 13 And In A Show Called "seesaw." I Came Offstage And Heard The Applause Of The Theater Audience And Felt A Sense Of Accomplishment. Around That Time, My Role Model For Success Was Burt Lancaster. He Was One Of The First Actors In Hollywood To Start His Own Production Company, And I Respected Him Because He Created Something He Believed In.

The Beauty Of The Unexpected And Unknown, And It's Certainly Very Tantalizing For Me As An Actor. Other Actors Can't Deal With That; They Want To Know, But Then They Make Choices And Decisions With That Knowledge Because That Knowledge Gives Them Forethought, And They Can Think About How They Want To Play Something That Takes Away Spontaneity Of What They Could Be Doing.

I Had To Work From A Young Age.

When You Have Great Acting Partners, You Hope That Your Reaction To Them Is Propels You Deeper Into Your Own Character.

I Feel That Sometimes, Holding Yourself As Black, Saying That Is Your Sole Identity, Can Sometimes Stand In Your Way Of Being A Member Of The Humanity Of Man, Being A Member Of The Family Of The Divine.
