I prefer film to TV because of the amount of time film affords you that TV doesn't (though theater is probably my favorite and the scariest place of all).

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

If anyone ever said biopic I would say, "It's not a biopic." We're fighting uphill against the weight of history. I was like, why don't we just call it historical fiction?

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

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

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.

I've been doing this since I was 10 years old, inhabiting different people and playing different roles.
