To Be A Character Actor Is To

The Beauty Of The Unexpected And Unknown, And It's Certainly Very Tantalizing For Me As An Actor. Other Actors Can't Deal With That; They Want To Know, But Then They Make Choices And Decisions With That Knowledge Because That Knowledge Gives Them Forethought, And They Can Think About How They Want To Play Something That Takes Away Spontaneity Of What They Could Be Doing.

I Take Things Very Seriously, And I Give Myself Time To Come Down And To Ramp Up, And It's An Inside Spiritual Journey For Me. I Feel Like Acting Is A Way Of Feeling Your Personality, And It's Really Special. Special To Have This Kind Of Effect On People. You Can Only Have That Effect If You're Really Outside Of Yourself. You Can't Look At Yourself And Do What I Do At The Same Time. I Have Done It That Way In The Past, But It Doesn't Really Work. I Can Only Soar Within The Parameters Of Time, And I Use Music Analogies.

For Me, What I Try To Heal Is The Major Thing That I Think All Of Us Go Through, Where We Came From. From Our Family Of Origin.

When I Perform On Stage, You Have To Remember My Performance Or Buy Another Ticket To The Party! In Television And Film, You Can See It Over And Over Again.

I Feel That Sometimes, Holding Yourself As Black, Saying That Is Your Sole Identity, Can Sometimes Stand In Your Way Of Being A Member Of The Humanity Of Man, Being A Member Of The Family Of The Divine.
