I'm a comic book fan.

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.

My mother's in my life, but at the time you imagine your mom passing away, not being there ... as a kid you try to think of something that hurts you the most ... It was just a tool [in "Hardball"].

I want people to leave the theater and think, "How can I be a better person?" That's the only way things are going to improve.

Acting I'll do forever, but I want to produce and stuff as well.

You see somebody like me, as young as I was at the time, driving around the inner city of Newark, and to them [police] it doesn't make sense. I've been illegally searched [and had] my car illegally searched. [I've] been handcuffed for no reason. You get in enough of those situations.

I've always wanted to direct and as I grow and I get older and I get older I just want to let that evolve.
