I came from Long Island, so I had a lot of experience at the stick. I played in junior high school, then I played in high school. The technical aspect of the game was my forte. I had all that experience, then I had strength and I was in good condition.

I had a choice to be lazy or lean - if I hadn't changed, thing probably would catch up with me.

I'm not a person that really deal in color. I recognize the inequities that certain cultures have to go through. I understand the history of slavery and all those things. But I'm not a victim. I can vote, I can participant. I can invest my money. I can invest my time. And that's what I'm doing. I'm not working for anybody. I'm not making any money doing what I'm doing. I'm doing it because someone did it for me.

When I'm on a picture, I have two bosses - the director and the producer. My co-star is not my boss.

Success is not only for the elite. Success is there for those who want it, plan for it, and take action to achieve it.
