I'm vomiting days before I start shooting a new movie.

I've been in clubs. I don't like being in an enclosed place with really loud music, and a lot of drunk people. It's not my idea of a good time. It's just such a miserable life.

Every single movie that I've ever done has affected my life; I always feel more changed by a character than I affect them or change them, always. I mean, that's just kind of the way it is.

I love having a master. I have no problem serving my director. That's my job. I want to make them happy.

That to me was really, certainly, the gateway into discovering John, ... I feel I found the speaking voice through the singing voice.

How can you work in film and still see the overt racism that exists in film and not just be furious all the time?

I enjoy writing rhymes and sitting alone in a room listening to beats. It's pretty amazing.
