If You're Afraid To Live Your Life

In My College Years, I Worked As A Union Labor Organizer. I Was Just One Of The Many Workers Trying To Do My Part To Help The Community.

I'm An Actor. I Love To Act. That's My Job. I'll Leave The Politicking To Others.

There Are A Lot Of Doors That Still Get Shut, And There Are A Lot Of Walls To Still Breach. But, The Stuff That Does Come Across To Me, Or That I Hear About Or Read About, That I'm Willing To Go Out There And Fight For, I Still Have To Go Audition. I Do Have A Certain Leeway To Choose, From That Group, What I Want To Say, As An Artist.

For Minority Actors, Developing Our Own Projects Has To Be The Eventual Path. We Have A Lot Of Stories To Tell And A Really Unique Voice. But None Of That Is Going To Be Heard As Long As We're Just The Hired Hands, Acting.

People Don't Walk Around Thinking Of Themselves As Bad People. You're Part Of The Environment That You Grow Up In, And There Can Be Decency In That. I Always Try To Find A Little Glimmer Of That, In Anything That I Do, Because You Can Find Places Where There's Humor Or Lightness In Something That's Deep And Profound, And That Tends To Resonate More And Make People More Human. As An Actor And Performer, I Think It Resonates More With The Audience When You Do Have The Payoff.
