I wanted to be a leading man - the black lawyer, the black doctor, the black policeman.

I’ve tried actively to define myself and redefine myself, and not be pigeonholed.

Every little kid has always wanted to be a race car driver. This gets some of that out.

Be talented enough to make it and stupid enough to keep trying.

Dancing With the Stars' is so Middle America, and people take it so seriously.

I, myself, identify myself as a heathen.

I decided sitcoms weren't for me.
