I think that rap is narrative, when it's done right.

I think that I have sold out sometimes.

We make a contract within ourselves as actors or directors or writers about how much of ourselves we let into projects. You can actually figure out before you work on something how much blood you will have to let emotionally.

The camera is interested in what you are thinking as opposed to just what you are doing or saying.

I love films for the fact that it is like working under a microscope. It is sort of like a laboratory.

Acting school was summer camp, and I needed concentration camp. I had so many different ideas swirling between culture and how to tie things together.

My family was very supportive of my acting. They didn't really have a choice because I got jobs acting before anyone could really say anything. It paid my way through college and helped my family out.
