I have a talent for missing the best and greatest parties.

I have a talent for missing the best and greatest parties.

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

When I was a kid, I wanted to walk with my dad's limp - my dad was my hero - but that infuriated him, and he would make me walk back and forth in the living room until I walked without it.

To be known by the public, honestly. People come up and tell them how good I make them feel.

I never wanted to lose out on an acting job and wonder if I hadn't been trained enough.

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