I like working with different directors; it keeps you on your toes.

I remember hearing stories from my mother and father about their parents and grandparents when they were taken off the reservation, taken to the boarding schools, and pretty much taught to be ashamed of who they were as Native Americans. You can feel that impact today.

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

The acting part is easy; it's the preparing - lifting weights and getting your body in tip-top shape - that's the hard part.
