People have always been obsessed by celebrities. There are just more outlets and opportunities to make a living exploiting that obsession nowadays.

We're always trailing, as far as the amount of roles that are written for us and the films that are being made that have black characters in them. I don't know if that's going to change.

Living by example - that's always a better teacher than trying to preach.

So often when Black men have to play roles on TV, we're either the noble savage or we're completely a savage, and there's no nuance.

It is the least represented among us who will be the most affected first. We have a moral responsibility to protect them.

I think that it's much more important to do than to say. And you learn that a lot from your kids, who are watching you, you know?

Speak up when you're supposed to, as opposed to trying to write prescriptions for the way people should live.
