The great thing about really heightened historical dramas is that they can convey much larger themes.

I love performing in any medium, and more the opportunities you have to vary things, the more you learn.

A dream role is a role that you can't even picture for yourself. Everything I've ever played I never pictured I would get a chance to play. It [has] gone beyond my wildest dreams. One thing I would love to do in my lifetime is a movie musical. I've wanted to do that since I was a kid. That's what made me interested in acting in the first place. I would do any type of musical, but I love the Harlem Renaissance era. I think a dream role in something that I probably can't see and I don't know when it's going to come.

When I look in the mirror, I see a work in progress.

I want to be remembered as someone who tried their best and hopefully succeeded.

All actors have their own unique path when it comes to the development of their training and careers.

I think training is helpful, but so is living a well-rounded life full of different experiences.
