My Mother Was Pretty Much On My

I Was Very Short When I Was Little, So I Probably Had - And There May Be A Residue Of It Now - That Napoleon Complex. Wanting To Be As Big And As Powerful As The Big Guys.

There Are So Few Guys Who Do Action And Do It Well. Even Fewer Who Are African-american. Even Fewer Who Have Classical-theater Training. So A Cat Like Me Coming In, I'm Bringing All Of That To An Action Movie.

I'm A Physical Type Of Actor And Love Projects In Which I Can Get Physical. The More Action, The Better.

Lot Of The Scripts I've Been In With Other Non-white Actors Haven't Been Great. Lot Of Non-white Actors Ain't All That Great.

I'm Not Looking At An Action Movie As Something Where I Just Jump Around And Look Beautiful And Show My Muscles. Since There Are So Few People That Do This And Have That Pedigree, People Disregard Their Contribution.
