I've got two smoking guns that just look incredible, and I love to pull them out whenever I can.

Are there differences between black actors’ opportunities and white actors’ opportunities? Yes, there are. It’s been said.

If you go to Africa and you're white, you're probably not going to get that much work either. But the fact is that there is a longer history of black integration in the U.S. I don't have any resentment about this: I did the maths, calculated it against my ambition and decided to leave England.

I love working. I'm a workaholic and I'm really privileged for some of the jobs I get offered and so I just want to keep going.

White actors still get way more money in Hollywood. It's been that way for a very long time. I hope it'll change, but it's a matter of forcing that change.

It's really funny because the same people who loved me as Stringer Bell were the same people that were watching Daddy's Little Girls literally in tears.

I still sing on bits and pieces. Singing's something that I love to do, but it's not something that I pursue as a career.
