Where I come from, there were traditions with my race and whenever you faced a curve in life, there was always a tradition.

I feel like giving back is in my blood.

I think people should look at learning about Native American history the same as visiting Washington, D.C., and seeing the monuments there. It's all part of the package.

There was a point - when I was a kid - where I said I wanted to be like Luke Skywalker, with blond hair and blue eyes. My mom right there told me to never be ashamed of who I am.

I went to an all white school where I dealt with racism.

What I like about New York City is nobody cares. If they do, they don't ever approach. They just give you a 'What's up?' and that's it.

I'm a movie guy - I can get lost in anything.
