I Am Admiring Of My Fellow Peers,

I Learned That Not Only Am I A Descendant Of Slaves, But That I Am Also A Descendant Of Royalty, That There Are Politicians From The 1800s As Well As Tuskegee Airmen In My Lineage.

When I Commit To A Role, I Always Tell Myself That Role Is King. That's The Bible. If I Start To Judge My Character, Than It's Going To Influence My Performance, And I Don't Want That. I Want To Find The Truth In The Character.

There Are Roles I Want That My Agency Might Not Want Me To Do Because Of The Subject Matter Or Whatever. Or There Are Roles That People Won't Bring To Me Because They Don't Think I'll Do It. And That Is A Big Strain Because An Actor Wants To Act

I Have Never Made A Decision Based On Race And Never Will.

As An Actor You Have To Bring To The Table Your Creative Input. But When A Director Like Ridley Scott Says I Want You To Do This This Way, You Know When He Gets To The Editing Room He Has A Reason For It. Its Like Watching A Masterpiece.
