Be collaborative. I've had some of my best experiences with directors who were able to sit down and have a conversation and ask me what I thought.

Playing a bad guy would be fun, I'm not going to lie. I'd definitely do that in a heartbeat, because it's so out of my nature.

I think everyone starts in the mailroom at some point! It's a right of passage. Your boss has to throw something at you and order you around for at least two years.

I'm not saying no to anything, at least as far as reading scripts. I don't care if it's television or films but, personally, I would say I'd like to establish myself more in film.

In many ways for black actors there's been two leading guys: It's Will Smith vs. Denzel [Washington].

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.

It may not happen in my lifetime, but if I can play a part in moving things along, then I feel I've done a good job.
