In Drama School, My Greatest Strength Was

I Was Coming From A Theater Background. I Had An Obsession With Classic Film And Cool, Interesting, Intelligent Television. I Didn't Really Understand The Way The Mainstream Television Industry Worked. I Just Thought "the Wire Is So Good That It's Going To Be A Huge Hit, And We'll Get Awards Up The Yin-yang Forever." That's What I Thought!

I’m Interested Not Just In Projects That I’ll Be Starring In, But Producing Film And Tv That’s Really Quality And Great For Adults; And When I Say Great For Adults, It Doesn’t Mean Without Humor, Because I’m Also Interested In Doing Comedy.

'the Wire' Really Drew On A Lot Of Real-life Situations And Real-life Organizations - It Created Fiction To Make A Social Statement About Reality.

Notes Are Tricky In An Audition, Because I Find, More Often Than Not, My Instinct Is Right. If They Have A Preconceived Notion About The Role And It Goes Against My Instinct, Unless It Makes Sense To Me, It Often Throws Off What I'm Trying To Do. Though Sometimes They Have An Insight That I Don't Because They've Been Living With The Script. I Don't Have One Feeling Or Another About Notes, But It Is Always A Little Bit Of A Red Alert When I Get One In An Audition.

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.
