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.

All my characters have playlists.

I don't consider myself a person of fashion because it's too sophisticated. My thing is I look at style like swagger. I like things that pull me, that I gravitate to.

I'm more liable to hurt myself than someone else.

My goal is to end mass incarceration and change the laws to stop locking up low-level, nonviolent drug charges. Stop charging drug addicts as criminals.

Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge your self in.

I grew up in East Flatbush in Brooklyn which was an intense neighbourhood filled with different West Indian cultures.
