I think it talks about the fact that there are black people in the world who have tremendous amount of talents and have no channel through which they can those talents.

Film and television is just a different technique in terms of how to approach the camera but basically the job is the same; but what you learn as a craft in theater, you can then learn to translate that into any mediums.

When I started off many years ago, I made a determination that there were certain roles I didn't want to play.

If there's no craft there, then once the looks go, there goes your career.

If you have the skill, then you can move as you age.

The advice that I usually give to young actors is that if you can create a character for the stage and keep that character fresh for at least 6 months that means you're doing the show eight times a week.

One, I had never worked with John Woo before and I wanted to see what that was like, and two, Ben Affleck is a friend, so it would be fun to work with him again.
