I believe trust is a choice.

The Southern Baptist Church is a specific culture in itself. So, I had to study, talk to people, watch tape and go to performances to see how Gospel artists move compared to secular artists.

Gospel artists are messengers; they are vessels of a message.

I was looking to show people I could act. I was looking for something that would take me away from the whole hunk riding off into the sunset thing that people wanted me to play after Brown Sugar.

Usually, when you talk about serialized TV, you're talking about one specific beat that you play, over and over again.

I like to laugh, I like to smile, and I don't take myself too seriously. I can be a goofball.

I went back and researched the history of gospel; where it came from, slavery times, communicating with each other without their master knowing what they are saying, and that gospel artists view themselves differently.
