We'll all retire from life at some point. The great thing about acting is you don't necessarily have to retire.

[Black people] come into the world exactly like you. It's just that there are circumstances in the culture that are dictated and put on our lives that we have to fight against.

I've been fortunate. I don't pick scripts. Scripts pick me.

I try to encourage actors to work harder off screen because that's where you find things.

I'm selfish, I think. I think an artist has to be. I'm not worried about what people think. I play the parts that I find interesting. It'd bother me more to be just pigeonholed into doing what people think is ethical or that's boring to me. I don't pick parts with that in mind, I just find interesting stories. If it's interesting to me, then I do it.

There's racism everywhere.

Bad guys need love too.
