The beauty of the unexpected and unknown, and it's certainly very tantalizing for me as an actor. Other actors can't deal with that; they want to know, but then they make choices and decisions with that knowledge because that knowledge gives them forethought, and they can think about how they want to play something that takes away spontaneity of what they could be doing.

What helps me is yogic breathing, dropping my spiritual level where I am really, really clear that I am playing a character.

Cable was a blessing for me. Thank god, I've done a show that's going to be iconic. So, if I screw up, it's all right because I already have something that's going to be iconic.

I came from a divorced mother and father, obviously mixed race.

I never like to refer back to anything I've done when I'm working on a character, even if that character has the same occupation.

I practice yoga every day. The practice calms my spirit, and allows me to be present.

To be a character actor is to be open, to be a chameleon.
