The Academy Awards was an amazing night. I know I kind of lost my mind a little bit. I apologize for that. That night went so fast I can't remember what I said or what happened.

I am admiring of my fellow peers, black filmmakers and black actors and actresses.

I worked so much when my first son was born that I missed a lot.

I rewind the TV every two minutes. If someone does something interesting, I have to see it over and over again.

There are roles I want that my agency might not want me to do because of the subject matter or whatever. Or there are roles that people won't bring to me because they don't think I'll do it. And that is a big strain because an actor wants to act

We all create our own reality by the choices we make.

I'm an avid hockey fan and I've been playing for about 17 years, and somebody recently told me that the first organized hockey teams in Canada were all black. Telling those stories would be cool.
