Well, with each character that I play in my life as an actor, I try to figure out how to find the challenge.

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

I feel that if you can transcend the color of your skin, with your talent, why carry that as a badge or a label?

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

When you have great acting partners, you hope that your reaction to them is propels you deeper into your own character.

My advice for achieving success is to make a career choice that reflects your passion. Then work your craft a little bit each day - even if someone's not paying you to do it. Try to balance your social life with your educational (or professional) life, and have patience.

I have from time to time been a double A or triple A personality. I'm not anymore. I'm more lenient on myself.
