Whether We Like To Admit It Or

Africa Is Trying To Find Its Way Back To A Sense Of Itself, When Much Of That Was Lost Through Colonization.

I Truly Believe Slavery Is Why, As A By-product, We Still Have A Disproportionate Amount Of Black Men Incarcerated In The Usa. It Is An Extension Of That Legacy, And That's Not Going To Start To Diminish Until Black People Have A New Sense Of Themselves That Isn't Tied To Slavery And Feeling Inferior. I Think The Church Can Be Instrumental In That, In Terms Of Repentance, Reconciliation And Just Being More Embracing Of Each Other - Not Just On Sunday, But In Life Generally.

Because I Was Aspirational, I Did My Work, I Was Respectful To My Teachers, I Experienced A Lot Of Bullying From The Black Kids. My Friends Were Largely White Or Asian.

That's What's So Satisfying About Acting. You Can Come As Prepared As You Like, But There's No Accounting For What's Going To Come At You From The Other Actor. That's Part Of The Joy And The Play Of It. If You Don't Have That It's A Different Kind Of Performance.

I'm One Of Those Actors Who Says, "point Me Toward The Work That Matters To Me And I Don't Care Where You're Putting It. Television Show. Movie. Projected On The Back Of Someone's Garage." If That's Where The Work Is That's Exciting To Me And Moving, I Want To Be There.
