Here's the thing. We do a movie with a predominantly black cast, and it's put in a category of being a black film. When other movies are done with a predominantly white cast, we don't call them a white film. I'm trying to remove the stigma off things they call black films.

I can't cook, but I can make a turkey and cheese sandwich like nobody else.

People don't want to hear about me having leather walls or gold toilets.

I've done auditions where the casting director is taking the paper out of my hand in the middle of reading.

Hard work and determination equals success. Nothing comes easy. Put your mind to something.

You get one life. I'm going to embrace mine.

The sound of the headboard, that's motivation.
