I understand pain very well, so I look for that in a role. If the characters are well-written, don't tell nobody, but I'll do the damn thing for free. I'm serious. It's the writing. I love beautifully flawed characters.

I come to work on time. I focus on my job. I bust my scenes out and everything else kind of happens from there.

For me, my past characters been hard, the way they died, being murdered, the sadness that goes around, the death. It's a very hard thing to do.

I know nothing of what it is to be a gangster.

The Wire' is very realistic and based on real events.

Music is always a part of my characters' make-up.
