Personally, I love Toronto.

I've never been really great at trusting anybody, just because of the way I grew up.

You don't want it to be a replica or an imitation. You want to create something fresh, original, very unique.

What you desire, as an actor, is to have an impact. That's why you did it. You want to move people, and you want to resonate with your audience. It's always a great compliment to have people appreciate and speak of the characters. I can go anywhere in the world, to places where people don't actually speak English, and people can say, verbatim, what I said on the show as Mr. Eko, which is great. That's fun!

I'm of Nigerian descent, from the Yoruba tribe. Names are very significant in that culture. It basically states your purpose in life.

It's a significant question: should black people only adopt black children, and white people white children?

The only way you can influence your fate is to put your soul into your performance and hope it registers with the audience.
