Being compared to that man [Michael Jordan], who has accomplished so much in his lifetime and is known as one of the greatest ever, is an amazing compliment, but I still want to be looked at as an individual and have my own lane and my own career and looked at as "That's Mike." "That' s Michael B."

Watching a really good movie excites me, because it makes we want to get up off the couch and go shoot something and act in a scene.

I think redemption is about righting a wrong, and in that pursuit it's about trying. You can stumble, you can make mistakes, but it's about trying to do the right thing.

As I grow and get older, mature a bit, and work on my big boy voice a little bit, I definitely want to direct.

Definitely, as I get older and my taste buds change, I want to do different things. I'm not ready for directing yet, you know, maybe when I get my big boy voice; I don't have that yet, but right now definitely producing for sure.

Acting for me sometimes is taking whatever personal experiences I have and try to apply that [to a role].

I think everybody wants to be their own person and be an individual.
