My character is meant to know nothing about rap, and not to like it very much, but I know about it, because my kids make me listen to it. There's some rap I do like very much. I like Eminem, Blackalicious.

I don't mind doing interviews. I don't mind answering thoughtful questions. But I'm not thrilled about answering questions like, 'If you were being mugged, and you had a lightsaber in one pocket and a whip in the other, which would you use?'

I have relationships with people I'm working with, based on our combined interest. It doesn't make the relationship any less sincere, but it does give it a focus that may not last beyond the experience.

It's always nice to anticipate working in something that you know people will have an appetite for.

I don't want to be a movie star. I want to be in movies that are stars.

I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.'

For some directors, I'm the actor from hell.
