I personally feel like black people in America have contributed so much for so long, and haven't always gotten credit for it.

The horror genre is fun but I'm not sure it is quite right for me.

People sometimes say, "What is your dream role?" I don't really have a dream role. I'll know it when I see it.

If I find great material, or a great character, or a great director that wants to do something on TV, or whether it's in film, or whatever it is, man - as long as it's good, and on the level, I'm open to it.

Politically, nowadays, as we know and feel, we are similarly underrepresented and not heard.

It is that rare film [Moonlight] that comes along once in a while that catches the zeitgeist. This movie is that. I certainly have my fingers crossed that it is. Everyone needs to see this movie.

All the craft skills that I have, I feel like I developed and honed in drama school. It's the most important thing for me.
